A Man Called Ove

After forty years of dedicated work on the railways, 59-year-old widower Ove Lindahl, a cantankerous creature of habit and the fear of his well-kept suburban neighbourhood, finds himself forced into retirement. And now that he has given up on life, Ove can watch over his gated community like a hawk and whittle down the monotony of his miserable existence. But life is as exciting as it is unexpected. Suddenly, a new next-door neighbour takes Ove by surprise, and a reluctant friendship gives him a new lease of life. However, is the cynical but sympathetic curmudgeon capable of change?
