Plot summary
Hans and Kerstin have been married for 65 years. One day, against Kerstin’s will, Hans decides that they should create a feature wall in their summer house.
Their inability to agree on the right colour and pattern has hindered all earlier attempts at renovation.
Through their discussions, conversations and quarrels, we get an image of the couple’s entire life and relationship. A bright, loving, provocative and entertaining portrait.
Who would have thought that an elderly couple and a wall might be so captivating!
