Tuesday, April 18, 1:30-3:00A Man Called Ove - A grumpy yet love-able man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the bitter neigh-bor from hell, but must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
