Get to know Ove. He is 59 years old. He has an eccentric temper and dislikes everything. He wanders around the community with unbreakable principles, daily routines, and a temper that can explode at any time. He is known behind his back as the "evil neighbor from hell." He patrols around early every morning, moving bicycles that have not parked in the grid, checking whether the garbage is sorted according to regulations, complaining about whose lawn is not mowed, and cursing the stray cat that has lost its fur. Endless. He wants to commit suicide. Until one November morning, when a chatty couple and their two chatty daughters moved next door and accidentally knocked down his mailbox.
