Boathouse Blues is an easy-going, enjoyable story about four women’s destinies that are woven together in the small but charmingly boring village of Tradviken

Life goes on at a slow pace in Tradviken where everything is as it always has been. But some of the newcomers have other plans…

Ellen Westman dreams of living by the sea and has borrowed her ex-husband’s summer house in Tradviken. She imagines a holiday paradise full of life and movement, but the reality is something completely different, you really have to look for a sleepier coastal community…

Birgitta Lundin, a former Miss Sweden, in 1983, now living a secluded life in Tradviken, spending her days alone in front of the computer screen in search of new yoga movies on Youtube.

Young Tess loves her hometown despite everyone’s urges that she should step out into the big world. Tess is close friends with eighty-five-year-old Signe, a tough old lady who does her best to stop all exploitation of her home village idyll. But when strange things start to happen down by the boathouses in the harbor, the duo faces their biggest challenge ever.
