Nora Ek

In the small community of Åmotfors in Värmland, Olof lives a quiet life as a beekeeper after losing his partner many years ago. All that remains is his teenage daughter Lise, who increasingly seeks to escape the confines of home. Olof struggles to reach her, and grief has long lain buried in silence—until he suddenly falls ill and is forced to confront all that has remained unspoken. With great sensitivity, Marcus Carlsson portrays the different stages of life and reminds us how the fragility between people can hold both pain and light.

Zoe is 16 years old and has just changed schools. She invites two girls to her birthday party, but the girls decide not to come. However, Zoe does not give up in the first place, but intends to fight to have fun, because best friends are forever.
