Britt-Marie Was Here

Description

From the best-selling novel by Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove, comes another warm-hearted comedy. Pernilla August (The Best Intentions, Jerusalem, Star Wars: Episodes I & II) plays housewife Britt-Marie, whose 40-year-old marriage has just broken up because she learned her husband was unfaithful. Now, at 63 years old, she is faced with making a new start in life in the small town of Borg. Told she is a nagging passive-aggressive aunt, the only job she can find is quite challenging: to coach the town’s youth soccer team. She knows nothing about soccer or coaching, and the team is the town’s pride and joy, but she takes the job anyway. This is the start of a journey filled with struggles and challenges but also humor, warmth and love.
