Hemma / Home
Synopsis. Lou lives in the city with her mother Christine, her only living relative – she thinks. It therefore comes as a shock when she finds out that her grandparents have been alive all the while and that her grandfather Yngve just died. Lou moves in with her grandmother and gets her life overthrown. Frida flees her grief by concentrating on helping gruffly 10-year-old Tom to find something he’s good at. Besides Frida and Toms’s boisterous pranks, Lou is subjected to romance for the first time when Henrik falls head over heels in love with her. Lou is forced to accept that she can be liked, express her will, and determine what Home is for her.
