Andra akten

Harald Skoog is a talented actor. But one evening after work he suffers a stroke. The situation is, of course, serious. It is decided that Harald will receive care at home. Harald also tends to be quite dismissive. And yes, that causes some problems.

Eva Söderberg is a recently retired physiotherapist. She lives next door to her ex-husband and his fiancée. Eva and her ex also has Felix, their adult son. But Felix has his own home. He is also tired of his mother's quite excessive coddling.

Eva becomes a bit restless. She decides to go back to work and help Skoog. And no, it isn't easy.

I think that this movie is compassionate and warm. I like Eva. She is nice and doesn't give up. Harald's personality is a little complex. He can, in my eyes, embrace life, but not always.

I missed more romance in "Second Act", but that is honestly the only thing. In other words, I can recommend this movie. Maybe not for those people who love thrillers, but they might be happily surprised.
