Lou lives in the city with her mother Christine, her only living relative – she thinks. It therefore comes as a shock when she finds out that her grandparents have been alive all the while and that her grandfather Yngve just died. Lou moves in with her grandmother and gets her life overthrown. Frida flees her grieve by concentrating on helping gruffy 10 year old Tom to find something he's good at. Besides Frida and Toms's boisterous pranks Lou is subjected to romance for the first time when Henrik falls head over heels in love with her. Lou is forced to accepting the fact that she can be liked, express her own will and determine for her self what Home really is. (Movieboosters)

The creator has based the entire movie on actors’ caricatures. Basically, the whole film stands and falls on those characters. What I liked the most, for example, was Frida, who looks like a classic Finn after five beers, not knowing what emotions mean anymore and at the same time not being able to count to five; and Frida was completely perfect. Then I liked her grandmother, who managed to find support in little Tom, and he was great, by the way. I couldn’t complain acting-wise and it was a pleasure to watch this film. But it seemed strange to me that although about 90%of the Icelandic nation worked on the film, it is spoken in Swedish. I felt as if I was watching a story from some unspecified environment in Scandinavia that has neither a name nor a specified timeline. It was simply created for the purpose of a tiny – but at the same time a very human – movie.
