Höst och vinter
Höst och vinter is a terrible comedy about a family on the verge of a collective collapse, who are desperately trying to rediscover the connection with each other.

Margareta and Henrik have invited their daughters to dinner, as they do every month. Ann lives with her son in a one bedroom apartment and struggles to make a living. Ewa and her husband live in a villa in Stocksund and must have three cars to be able to work that much.
