Synopsis

The two Svensson sisters have both passed the 70- mark and lead a quiet and content life in their childhood home in Borrby, Østerlen, Sweden. When the businessman, Alvar Klemens, buys the house next door as his summer residence, new winds start to blow. The two sisters who are normally extremely prudent when it comes to money, feel the need for a make-over to catch the attention of the attractive neighbour.

One day the sisters witness how a male cat practically throws himself on a female cat after he has eaten some of the flowers in Alvar’s garden. Tilda and Elida now hatch a brilliant plan which will enable them to fund their need for new acquisitions. And from that day, their life never becomes the same again.
