Synopsis:
Four friends, all recently retired, embark on a trip to Italy, where Eva has inherited an olive grove. What begins as a simple trip to settle legal matters and organise a sale soon turns into something more. Once there, a question arises: what really awaits them back home in Sweden? Italy, on the other hand, offers sunshine, delicious food and charming inhabitants. And isn't it in the later stages of life that one should seize the moment and finally realise those long-cherished dreams?
