       Wife and younger son die in a car crash. Nine months later dad Lasse (Nyqvist) overdoses on prescription meds, on purpose or not? Older son Jonas (Soulis), limping since accident, stays with the grandparents for a while but Lasse brings him out to their house in the archipelago of western Sweden, the area where the crash happened.

       Swedish summer idyll mixed with the pain of loss and an awkward teen-age infatuation, it’s rather banal but also a gentle and realistic film about grief. Nyqvist, as always, gives a solid performance. 

3* of 5
