Man makes plans, and God laughs. Because nothing ever turns out the way you hope it will.

When Sara has the chance to buy her dream house, she can hardly believe her luck. There’s just one small snag. The current owner, 74-year-old Lola, will remain in the house until she dies, and so becomes Sara’s unplanned roommate. Between conservative, career-minded Sara and the free-spirited Lola, an unusual friendship develops from which both women benefit equally. The film takes a sometimes comical, sometimes subtly melancholic look at such issues as housing shortages, existential fears in times of economic crisis, performance-oriented society, loneliness and isolation.
