When two friends facing their older years find themselves increasingly overlooked, they turn to crime to even the score. As Jenny (Lotta Tejle) struggles to stay afloat during her divorce, she teams up with the similarly cash-strapped Cecilia (Sissela Kyle) to rob a bank. This Swedish-language dramedy combines crime caper with a deft comedic touch. 6 episodes, 5 hrs, 2 DVDs. Swedish with English subtitles.
