The touching story of an elderly brother and sister who have lived together in their small Swedish town their entire lives. The film shows their special bond, the kind of world they inhabit, and provides an inspirational look at family values and the simple joys of life.

Hugo is approaching 100 and his sister Rose is 96. In their little red house in the Swedish countryside they live in the same way as people there lived 100 years ago. �The trick is in staying happy,� the always elegant Rosa confides to the filmmakers. In addition to cooking and caring for the household, she also sometimes plays the accordion. And when a sparkling Hugo with his amusing tales is chopping wood and digging in the garden, it appears as if nothing can disturb the idyllic life of the siblings. The march of time, however, is relentless, and after Hugo�s health complications, both find themselves in a retirement home. Even here they do not lose their remarkable optimism about life, their good mood, or their ability to take a humorous and detached view of the ailments associated with their age. A discreet camera follows Rosa and Hugo up to the final climax of their long life�s pilgrimage.

This very humane and cheerful documentary is a celebration of dignified old age and shows that the autumn of one�s days does not have to be only a hopeless wait until death.
