A romantic comedy about Liv, who is at the beginning of her 20s. She is very close to her parents and working in the family greengrocer business when, against all expectation, she falls in love with a spirited and somewhat older rainbow girl, Andrea. Andrea claims to be suffering from stress. But in reality, she is heartbroken and has sought refuge at her uncle’s apple plantation. Liv’s encounter with Andrea becomes the catalyst for a divorce, the loss of a friendship and an identity crisis that ultimately shatters their love. But in a rebellion against her parents, Liv realises that love is mutable and that a family may assume many forms.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Anna-Klara Björk constructs her narrative on the contrast between the cozy confines of a family business and the liberating expanse of an apple orchard. She explores the relationship not as a mere fling but as a catalytic force, relying on honest dialogue and natural metaphors to depict the collapse of old structures.

What lingers after the credits is the bittersweet aftertaste of coming-of-age, which is rarely a painless process. Those who tire of simplistic rom-coms will find a story about the courage to rebuild one's life from the fragments of the old. — MovieFinder Editorial
