This mellow comedy is the third entry in filmmaker Anja Breien's "Wives" series and stars the same three actresses who appeared in the first two. This episodic film begins with flashbacks to the 1975 film Wives and scenes from 1985's Wives: Ten Years Later. Now ten more years have passed and they are comfortably ensconced in middle age. They have gathered to hold a surprise birthday for Kaja aboard an Oslo streetcar. The three haven't seen each other in ages and much of the story focuses on their discussions of their disparate lives. Every word, smile and tear they share affirms the depth of their lasting friendship.

Drama series about 12-year-old Kim, who moves in with her mother with Lars, August and Jenny. Kim has to get used to her new family and escapes into her own world and especially into her music. Kim and Jenny are two very different girls who just became sisters. The challenges of growing up in a patchwork family is better dealt with together.
