SYNOPSIS
Recently retired Tord has had enough. He is convinced that there is no love in our society anymore. No solidarity. He decides to gas himself to death a day when his wife, as usual, goes to work without even saying goodbye. However everything changes when Tord finds out about the new neighbor. Tord’s life suddenly makes sense again. He meets new friends who have become kind because of the same experience. However, complications arise when others in the neighborhood want to kick her out because she does not behave like everybody else. The new neighbour is not considered “normal”.
