on making a new life elsewhere and finds it hard to change, and then finds
herself changed anyway, by life, by people, by understanding more about
herself.

give-up over time since the death of their other daughter, spending her time
raising her husband’s children, and taking care of him Then he had a heart attack and the other
woman called her. Britt-Marie saw that
he was on the mend, then went home, packed a bag and left. Now she’s in Borg, a small town that has been
shutting down, working as the caretaker of the Recreation Center. She’s inherited a soccer team, actually just
a group of local kids. She likes things
to be neat and tidy. So, she changes
Borg, and it changes her.
