Summary

Ove is the quintessential grumpy old man next door, a curmudgeon with staunch principles and a short fuse.

As an unlikely friendship between Ove and his new Iranian-Swedish neighbor begins to form, Ove's past happinesses and heartbreaks come flooding back and what emerges is a tale of human connection.
