Event Details

A Man Called Ove is a heartwarming story about a man whose lonely life is changed by friendship with his new neighbors. Ove’s grief over his wife’s death, along with a lifetime of other losses, has turned him into a sad and bitter curmudgeon. To make matters worse, his plan to end his own life is continually derailed by happenings in the neighborhood. But, thanks to his new neighbors, Ove discovers a new world that is not only messy, loud, and full of mistakes, but also full of love, friendship, and a connection worth sticking around for.
