A Man Called Ove
A curmudgeonly widower fights to keep his meticulously ordered neighborhood under control, but the arrival of a noisy, pregnant neighbor sparks a chain of events that forces him to confront his loneliness and find new purpose.
“Misery hates company.”
Synopsis
Ove, a 59-year-old man known for his gruff demeanor, remains actively involved in overseeing his neighborhood even after being removed from his position as president of the condominium association. His routine is disrupted when Parvaneh, a pregnant woman and her family, move into the terraced house across from him. An accidental collision with Ove’s mailbox by Parvaneh triggers a chain of unforeseen events that begin to alter the course of his life.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
