Have you ever imagined that one day, when you are in your 70s and 80s, have no parents, no children, and your loved one will die one step earlier than you, then what reason do you have to live at this time?
For Ove, the answer to this question may be—
No.
Ove is a typical old stubborn.
He couldn't understand why the same discount coupon had to buy two bouquets of flowers to get cheaper.
He is also very principled.
So when he found out that his friend was not driving a domestic car but an imported car, he decided that he and the other party had different ways of doing things, and he didn't really reconcile until his friend had a stroke.
Ove always talks about "idiots". In his perception, the current Swedes are just rubbish who only know how to eat lunch all day and can't even do the simplest things.
However, such a stinky old man who looked particularly cynical was alone in disarming himself in front of his wife.
After he reluctantly bought two bunches of flowers, he would tell his wife not to get used to this kind of treatment, and then carefully wipe his wife's tombstone with the wrapping paper of the bouquet.
Although his wife had passed away for more than half a year, Ove's thoughts of her continued to grow and never stopped.
Perhaps it was because he could no longer restrain his thoughts of his wife, so when the fifty-nine-year-old Owen was fired from the company, he resolutely decided to fulfill his promise to his wife—to follow in her footsteps and leave.
So he started clearing the refrigerator.
Stop the phone.
Then he hummed a song, put on a tie, and dressed himself in the most dignified way, so that he could see the person he loved the most.
However, the first attempt, Ove failed.
The new neighbors who happened to be moving in, the Pavinas and his wife, didn't pay attention to the ban on driving in the community, so they drove the car to Ovie's window, and even knocked his mailbox.
Furious, Ove hurriedly stopped his suicide plan and parked the car for them.
The second time, Ove learned, he closed the window to avoid being disturbed by the inexplicable person again, and then stood up in the chair again, ready to kill himself.
But at the most critical moment, the doorbell rang again.
The daughter of the Pavina couple took her mother's cooking, thanked him for his help last time, and borrowed a ladder before going back.
After several failed suicide attempts, Ove came to his wife's grave and told her, "Maybe this time, she'll have to wait for him."
But Ove wasn't going to keep her waiting too long.
He then tried burning charcoal in the car...
jump train...
He even killed himself with a shotgun...
But in the end, there will always be an emergency that interrupts his plan, and the people who save him unintentionally are mostly the Pavina family, and the "idiots" in his mouth.
These "idiots" always asked him to take them to the hospital, and then asked him to help with driving training, or they asked him to take care of the children, and even the homeless thought that maybe he could take them in.
However, except for his wife, these fetters that he did not take in his heart gradually healed the wounds in his heart.
In the past, he always thought it was a foolish thing to greet each other "How are you?" because "What's wrong?"
However, Ove was eventually blown away by a concern from his neighbor Pavina.
In fact, Ove's paranoia is not born, but his life has suffered too much - his mother died early, his father died unexpectedly, the joy of being a father is close at hand, but because of a car accident, he lost his child and his wife Hemiplegia...
However, the last straw that broke him was the blow of his wife's death from cancer. He was once redeemed because of his wife, and his hope in life was once again deprived of fate, so Ove became what we see today.
His domineering, his indifference, and his resentment have always stemmed from his despair, as well as his distrust of his own experience, and his insecurity.
Fortunately, he met Pavina, who was always optimistic and positive. Although she couldn't stand her bad temper, she finally let Ove understand that no one can do everything alone, not even Ove.
Maybe no one had ever told him that, or maybe he was too used to taking everything by himself as he grew up. So Ove, who used to be very repulsive to others discussing his wife, was finally willing to open up and tell his story.
In fact, long before Ove found out, the shortcomings he once had were filled by these people one by one.
Although he lost his own children, he also received a lot of comfort from Pavina's children.
He used to wonder if he could be a good dad, but there's no doubt he's a grandpa the kids love.
He even had a chance to laugh and say to his "little granddaughter", just as his dad told him when he was a kid, "This is life."
Ove struggles from the previous loneliness.
Become everyone to accompany him to fight side by side.
Because of this, at the end of his life, Ove is no longer eager to die because of lack of motivation in life.
Only when he and his wife met for the first time could he naturally wake up and meet each other again.
To put it aside, maybe Ove will never die, but his wife is in the spirit of heaven, and I hope he can live well.
So if one day, when your life ushered in Ove's situation, then I think, just try to love, love life, let yourself be the proof that the deceased once lived in this world, and then together with you Beloved, work hard to live together, this is the best answer.
