After suffering a breakdown, Freddie Stjärne (Happy Jankell) leaves Stockholm to rest in her hometown; meanwhile, her sister (Felice Jankell) surprises everyone at home by taking a job at a department store in Stockholm.

As the two women go though the predictable process of choosing between what kind of life (and love) suits them best, we in the audience get the simplest kind of scroll-friendly entertainment.

Adam Pålsson’s feature-film directing debut is adequately dressed up as a glittery, generic Hallmark Christmas card.
