What happens

Solsidan (lit. "The Sunny Side") is a 2017 Swedish comedy-drama film directed by Felix and Måns Herngren, based on the Solsidan TV-series. Primarily set in Saltsjöbaden, Nacka, the film follows the same general cast as the Solsidan TV-series: Alexander and Anna Löfström, who has recently divorced, their friends Ove and Annette Sundberg, who searches for a sperm donor after finding out that Ove is sterile, and the Schiller family, consisting of Fredrik "Fredde", Mikaela "Mickan", their son Victor, and their daughter Ebba, who travels to Torekov, Skåne, to visit Fredde's estranged father, Mauritz. Solsidan had a generally positive response from critics and was named the funniest Swedish movie of 2017 by Aftonbladet. The film won the award for Best Makeup at the 53rd Guldbagge Awards, in addition to the Commerzbank Audience Award at the 2017 Filmfest Hamburg. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
