Foreign Film: Britt-Marie Was Here

Britt-Marie, 63, has just left a 40-year marriage and her long life as a housewife obsessed with cleanliness. She takes the only job she is offered: youth leader at a soon-to-be-closed recreation center in Borg, a remote and struggling small town. The job includes coaching a soccer team of 10-year-olds. And Britt-Marie does not know anything about soccer, coaching, or children. Swedish. Based on the novel by Fredrik Backman (author of A Man Called Ove).

Runtime is 1:34. Bring your own beverage; the library provides the popcorn.
