Rome, Paris and Helsinki right after the Madrid bombings. Three stories about people who, for different reasons, are afraid of others – the eponymous "thy neighbor." A humanity full of differences, but at the same time, with very similar feelings. So similar that their stories appear almost parallel and complementary.
TV movie based on Christer Kihlman's novel. Writer Ralf spends the summer at the old family villa with his wife Madeleine and children. Family friend Christian lives nearby. The events of the blazing summer days drive these people into a crisis, where pent-up emotions, love, jealousy, guilt and fears come out. The film tells about a person's difficulty in finding himself, another person and a relationship with today's world.
