Welcome to the neighborhood around the idyllic Stångån river in Linköping!

The house is so full of memories that Sofie can’t bring herself to sell it. Instead, she decides to move into her childhood home with her two children, despite being a single parent, an inexperienced homeowner, and still deeply affected by the grief of losing her father.

In the house next door, the most beautiful house on the street, lives Veronica. For many years, she and Sofie were friends, now they settle for a stiff hello. Veronica and her husband are successful and live the perfect life. But what good is that when their youngest child suddenly refuses to leave the house?

In the red house down by the water lives Lars. He feeds his chickens and sighs over the pain in his body and everything he now lacks. Rheumatism has changed his life, and he is increasingly frustrated. Perhaps it’s no wonder his wife Ewa seems to have grown tired of their situation? How do you cope when so much of what you once loved becomes impossible, and the person you used to be seems to be gone?

The three neighbors initially observe each other from a distance, but various events force them closer together. Perhaps the key to moving forward in life lies in seeking help from a neighbor? Despite their differences, all three will become significant to each other during a turbulent year.
