Synopsis
In 1945, the middle-class Löwander family – siblings Gustaf, Peter and Nina and mother Helga – run one of Stockholm's most popular restaurants, Djurgårdskällaren, when the Second World War ends. Eldest son Gustaf has taken the establishment through the war years and wants to run the business as it always looked, while sister Nina falls in love with the kitchen boy Calle with a working-class background and welcomes the new spirit of the times. Middle son Peter returns to the capital from a refugee camp where he has worked during the war years and soon realizes that the family business is in trouble. At the same time, mother Helga, through kitchen manager Stig "Stickan" Backe, still has an eagle eye on the business. In the dining room works chef servant "Bellan" Roos.[8]
The series revolves around Nina and Calle's turbulent relationship, the efforts to maintain and develop the restaurant and the personal struggles of both its management, staff and the multiple generations of the Löwander family, while covering the changes occurring in post-war Sweden until the 1970s.
