Heartwarming / A Man Called Ove

• The children calling Ove "morfar" (the Swedish word for your maternal grandfather).
• Ove having listed Parvaneh as next of kin.
• The girls' drawings hanging on Ove's wall - framed.
• Ove fixing the bike for Adrian to help him impress his crush.
• "People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had."
  • Nasanin draws a lot of pictures of Ove, oftentimes with other people in the picture as well - but they are always in black and white, and Ove is always drawn in colour.
• This conversation:
  Ove: Nothing existed before Sonja. And nothing exists after.
  Parvaneh: I exist.
• The gradual reveal just how much Sonja meant for her students.
• Basically any time in the flashbacks Ove expresses affection for Sonja through practicalities.
  On learning that she is pregnant: 'Then we need a station wagon.'
  In the movie, when they move into the house and he slowly realises just how many books she has: *Looks around the room* 'I will build another book case'
