One Weekend is All it Takes

Ever since Alyssa Dervishi had her heart broken a little over a year ago, she has sworn off dating. Instead of looking for love, she throws herself into her work as an ophthalmologist at St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim. She tells herself it is the best decision she has ever made, while quiet loneliness is kept at bay with designer clothes, expensive wine, work, and exercise.

Ole Martin Vollan is about to turn forty. He took over the family farm more out of duty than desire, and his confidence has reached rock bottom. Convinced that no one could ever want to share a life with a short dairy farmer struggling to keep the farm afloat by taking odd jobs, he has all but given up on love.

When Alyssa's car breaks down in the rural district of Namdalen and she can find neither a rental car nor a hotel room, Ole Martin steps in to help. After all, what else can he do but offer her the spare bedroom?
