For as long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It`s not that she`s judgemental, or fussy, or difficult
- she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for example (forks, knives, then spoons). We`re not animals, are we? But behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams & a warmer heart than anyone around her realizes. So when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed, separated from her husband of 20 years, left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial backwater that is Borg
- of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it
- & somehow tasked with running the local football team, she is a little unprepared. But she will learn that life may have more to offer her that she`s ever realised, & love might be found in the most unexpected of places.
