Колючий мёд

Zhurnalistka Ėbba Lindkvist perezhivaet lichnostnyĭ krizis - ona, spet͡sialist po semeĭnym otnoshenii͡am, obrazt͡sovai͡a zhena i matʹ, poddaëtsi͡a vlechenii͡u k vnovʹ voznikshemu v eë zhizni kumiru i͡unosti, nekogda populi͡arnomu rok-muzykantu. Radi nego ona brosaet vsë, chego dostigla za ėti gody i chto tak i͡aro otstaivala. No otnoshenii͡a s chelovekom, chʹi͡a zhiznennai͡a pozit͡sii͡a slishkom silʹno otlichaetsi͡a ot togo, k chemu ona privykla, ne skladyvai͡utsi͡a garmonichno. Dokhodit do togo, chto Ėbbe prikhoditsi͡a poseshchatʹ psikhoterapevta. I tut ona poluchaet zakaz - napisatʹ statʹi͡u ob otnoshenii͡akh v dlinnoi͡u v zhiznʹ. Ėbba otpravli͡aetsi͡a v nebolʹshoĭ kurortnyĭ gorod na i͡uge Shvet͡sii, chtoby vzi͡atʹ intervʹi͡u u pozhiloĭ zhenshchiny, chʹë pisʹmo odnazhdy popalosʹ eĭ na glaza v zhurnale. Predpolagalosʹ, chto ėto budet rutinnai͡a rabota. No istorii͡a li͡ubvi, chto beret nachalo v 50-kh godakh proshlogo veka v uedinënnom pansionate, stanovitsi͡a dli͡a Ėbby udivitelʹnym otkrytiem i vozmozhnostʹi͡u luchshe uznatʹ sebi͡a.

Journalist Ebba Lindqvist is going through a personal crisis — she, a specialist in family relations, an exemplary wife and mother, succumbs to the attraction to the idol of her youth, once a popular rock musician, who has reappeared in her life. For his sake, she gives up everything she has achieved over the years and that she so ardently defended. But a relationship with a person whose life position is too much different from what she is used to, does not develop harmoniously. It gets to the point that Ebbe has to visit a therapist. And then she gets an order to write an article about a long-life relationship. Ebba goes to a small resort town in southern Sweden to interview an elderly woman whose letter once caught her eye in a magazine. It was supposed to be a routine job. But the love story, which originates in the 50s of the last century in a secluded boarding house, becomes an amazing discovery for Ebba and an opportunity to get to know herself better.
