A Man Called Ove: Now a Major Film Starring Tom Hanks

Ove is a 59-year-old widower who is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet, constantly criticizing his neighbors, joggers, and shop assistants for their lack of common sense and dedication to his unswerving principles. Following the recent death of his beloved wife, Sonja, and being forced into early retirement, Ove sees no purpose in life and plans to end it. However, his numerous attempts to commit suicide are repeatedly and hilariously interrupted by the chaos and needs of his new, boisterous neighbors, particularly a pregnant, persistent Iranian woman named Parvaneh, her clumsy husband, and their children. As the story flashes back to his past, revealing the tragic and tender events that shaped him, Ove is gradually pulled back into life by his community. This heartwarming debut is a funny, moving, and uplifting tale of love, loss, second chances, and the power of unexpected friendships, proving that even the grumpiest man can find a new sense of belonging.
