Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This touching Swedish romance chronicles the youthful love affair between a septuagenarian widower and a woman in her 60s and runs it parallel to a rising rock star and his pregnant punk girl friend. The film is director Richard Hobert's sequel to Spring of Joy and is also the third entry in his Seven Deadly Sins series. Ragnar is the widower who lost his wife in the previous film. His son Mikael is the aspiring rocker and Catti, his lover. The tale begins four months after the other film ended. Ragner finds himself in love with neighboring apple-grower Vendela. She has a crush on him too. Eventually, they share their love. Trouble arises because Vendela hesitates to commit. In retaliation, Ragnar begins acting like a lovesick teen. Meanwhile Mikael celebrates his first hit record by drinking heavily and starting an affair with Suzanne.
