Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon-- the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell." But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association at their very foundations.

Ove no es el t?pico vecino con el que te apetece cruzarte por el barrio. Es un cascarrabias, un pesado que insiste hasta la exageraci?n en mantener el orden y la disciplina, un casi sesent?n solitario y resentido a quien el destino ha arrebatado demasiadas cosas. Sin embargo, en la vida de Ove algo est? a punto de cambiar. Una serie de circunstancias fortuitas van devolvi?ndole poco a poco la fe en el g?nero humano. Y, al mismo tiempo, las personas que le rodean comienzan a comprender que su barrio no ser?a el mismo sin el gru??n de Ove. Ser?a un lugar m?s fr?o, menos solidario y, aunque parezca mentira, tambi?n mucho menos divertido ... Porque, en realidad, todo el mundo quiere a Ove.
