Three sisters live in a small Norwegian town with their slightly eccentric mum and dad. They are both architects and he's the only man in town with a moustache!

They are even bribed by their resident grandmother to behave and not bicker! I didn't love the linear style of the animation but the story is worth telling about growing up and independence.
