In a remote Swedish town, Sandra (Tuva Novotny),
a troubled young woman, is given a rundown apartment in a house being renovated
by Polish workers. Another tenant is elderly Lilly (Ghita Norby), who lives
among a lot of old furniture. Lilly's daughter, Rebecka (Jessica Zanden), tries
to persuade her to move to an old folks' home, but Lilly refuses. After the old
woman falls down in her apartment and is helped by Sandra, a friendship starts
to develop between the two women, complicated by the long-hidden secret of
Lilly's past and Sandra's relationship with one of the Poles, Marek (Lukasz
Garlicki). FOUR WEEKS features exquisitely observed, finely nuanced performances by Tuva
Novotny and celebrated Danish actress Ghita Nørby.
Dans une lointaine ville de Suède, Sandra, une
jeune femme troublée, noue une amitié inattendue avec Lilly, une survivante
effacée de l'Holocauste. Bien que Lilly se souvienne d'amours interdites
pendant la guerre, elle encourage Sandra à s'ouvrir aux attentions d'un beau
travailleur polonais.
