Livets ekvation

Livets ekvation The Equation of Life

What is really going on in the study room at the university on the dark autumn night? An elderly man wanders about, writing numbers on the walls. It’s Jack, a professor emeritus of mathematics, still dedicated to his work as he nears eighty. But his memory is faltering, and he senses that something is deeply amiss. Desperate to hold onto his past, Jack realizes his independence is slipping away.

There is only one person who can help him—his estranged daughter, Malin. He realizes that he must call her and tell her about his memories before they are lost forever.

A touching and poignant tale of an aging father and his middle-aged daughter, exploring themes of nurturing and reconciliation, and the profound layers of life often hidden from those closest to us – a story about love, and about making things right, before it’s too late.
