Synopsis

[edit]

Lisa (Vera Vitali) and Patrik (Erik Johansson), a couple in their 30s living in Stockholm, are each recently divorced; both have 10-year-old sons, and Lisa has a teenage daughter. Patrik's ex-wife Katja (Petra Mede) is an architect, and Lisa's ex-husband Martin (Fredrik Hallgren) works at a bed retailer. The series follows the turbulent relationships between the new couple and their exes, as well as the three kids' adjustments to their new family situation and how Patrik deals with the contrast between his quiet, diligent son William (Jacob Lundquist) and Lisa's troublesome, adventurous son Eddie (Frank Dorsin).
