In a quiet suburban neighborhood, a man’s strict, solitary world is about to be wonderfully upended. Tom Hanks delivers a poignant and heartfelt performance as Ove, a grumpy, rule-obsessed widower who sees no purpose in a life without his beloved wife. His days are consumed by enforcing neighborhood bylaws and planning his own end, until an energetic young family moves in next door. Led by the relentlessly cheerful and pregnant Parvaneh, they accidentally flatten his mailbox and, in doing so, begin to persistently knock down the walls he has built around himself. Directed by Hannes Holm, this touching drama-comedy weaves between Ove’s bittersweet past and his reluctantly evolving present, revealing the profound sorrow and deep love that fuel his curmudgeonly exterior. As unexpected friendships form and community ties rekindle, Ove is forced to confront whether his story is truly over, discovering that life often has other plans, delivered by the most inconvenient and noisy neighbors.
