About the Movie
A Man Called Ove is a Swedish film based on the 2012 novel by Fredrik Backman. Ove is a cranky, retired man who spends his time enforcing the rules of his neighborhood's association rules. When a new family moves in next door, their boisterous ways start to chip away at his rough exterior.
