My Name Is Agneta [English]

Description

Agneta is a colorful and funny person, but it's not obvious on the surface. She has just turned 49, her children have flown the nest, her job at the traffic office is stagnant, and Agneta feels invisible. Her husband, on the other hand, has found meaning in life by doing ice-cold baths and cycling fast in expensive gear. In a crisis attempt to escape the dull shackles of everyday life, Agneta leaves the safe Swedish life behind to work as an au pair for a Swedish boy in France. However, when the boy, Einar, turns out to be an elderly eccentric demented gentleman, the misunderstanding is a fact. This becomes the start of a messy, life-affirming friendship that turns everything Agneta thought she knew about life and herself upside down. Because how does one really live their one precious life?
