With a bunch of black stalk humor about the persistence in suicidal tendencies in the film, the most difficult problem of Lonely Old Age without children and other relatives is decorated, when a flashed life - with all the material well-being so far - loses meaning, for it is only to be alone with inevitable senile diseases and infirmities, and the intrigue is reduced only to how much you can avoid the most ugly way to the grave in the end to get. The film illustrates a Swedish - realistic, probably in their socio-cultural traditions - way of solving this situation: living in a compact, comfortable village without fences separating neighbors - in fact, in a multi-room apartment - becoming part of a large quasi-family, where in the variety of people who form it, those who can play the role of relatives for a lonely elderly person are found. In the structure of life on the slope of years, the fighting grandfather is quite, it should be noted, lucky.
He has not reached the helpless stage of senile dementia, enuresis and exhaustion, when the possibility of suicide has already been missed, and death will wait under the watch of social services.
Pretty actress as the wife of the main character. Everything in its path pressing locomotives in the film look like the elements, riding on the rails independently.
