Swedish summer is everything for Lena Olin.

I am feeling homesick all the time.

Lena Olin and Lasse Hallström want nothing more than move home to Sweden. Soon it´s finally time. Swedish actress Lena Olin 49(grrr!!), has been married to the director Lasse Hallström, 58, for more then ten years. They are living with their daughter Tora,9, and Lena´s son August, 18, in the neighborhood Bedford, outside New York. The home is decorated with Swedish furniture and the nature trees around the house are birch and pine forest . The children´s upbringing differs from their American friends., especially when it comes to the food.

A finicky mother

We have a housekeeper home since we are away so much and I am terribly finicky with the food when it comes to the children. No one is supposed to eat junk food. Everythinn has to be home made, Lena has said. She and Lasse love Sweden and now Lena and their daughter Tora are home on summer vacation. SE&HÖR met them during the tennis week in Båstad.
-We are homesick the whole time after moving home. But that depends on the children, work and so on. She has travelled alone with their daughter to Båstad. Husband had to fly back to New York due to shooting a movie.

There are the jobs

-Lasse was only here for a few days. And before he left he said: "God, what I feel like is that I would like to move home", says Lena. It is the same every time they are coming home. The problem is that the BIG jobs are in the USA for Lasse. Then the children have their friends which is hard to just tear oneself away from. Even so, Lena thinks that it is soon going be the time. - It wont take so much a long time before we are going to move, says Lena and look like she is dreaming.
