A successful international conductor suddenly interrups his career and returns alone to his childhood village in Norrland, in the far north of Sweden.It doesn't take long before he is asked to come and listen to the fragment of a church choir, which practises every Thursday in the parish hall. Just come along and give a little bit of good advice. He can't say no, and from that moment, nothing in the village is the same again. The choir develops and grows. He makes both friends and enemies. And he finds love. (Svensk Filmindustri)

A massive disappointment. I love Scandinavia and the reviews on this made me enthusiastic about this movie. After watching it, I am not so positive anymore. The only plus of the movie itself is Michael Nyqvist, who maintans a more or less interesting role for the whole movie. It starts right at the beginning, where after moving to Sweden I expected some proper emotional ride. But what happened instead? It began like a Swedish soap opera with people with whom I wouldn’t even go for a pint of beer into some godforgotten Swedish pub. Approaching the finale I realized I do not care at all what is going to happen with the choir. Only the ending convinced me that this film was really made in Scandinavia. Otherwise I would think it was just stupid.
