Plot
20 years after Magnus Edkvist (Björn Kjellman) graduated from the ninth grade in Hagsätra, he gets an invitation to a class reunion. He declines the invitation, because he doesn't want to relive some of the most embarrassing moments of his life. Magnus rather stays home with his wife Lollo (Cecilia Frode) and his daughter. But when Magnus starts to think about his teenage crush, Hillevi (Inday Ba), and whether she will go or not. He decides to go to the reunion, in hope that Hillevi will show up.
