Rolf Lassgård commands the screen as a grumpy old man for the ages in Hannes Holm’s comedy-drama about a depressed widower whose only reason for living seems to be yelling at people for minor rules infractions. When a vibrant young family moves in next door, he tries to resist their attempts at friendship, but they are darn persistent.
