Romanian beggar Florin and Swedish single mother Josefin fall in love after meeting outside the grocery store. After eight months, they marry and start a new life together in a small Swedish town. Florin studies Swedish and looks for work, but as the pressure from his family to send home money mounts, the dream of a better life is put to a test. Combining harsh reality with fairy-tale elements, this touching story of love and social stigma shows what happens when two rather different worlds collide.
