Anders is Ove's neighbor across the street who owns a towing company. He drives an Audi and dates a woman that Ove refers to as the Blond Weed. These factors lead Ove to ridicule him and refer to him as "the fop Anders." Later, he earns Ove's seal of approval by towing the man in the white shirt's Škoda. He breaks up with Blond Weed and begins a relationship with Lena.
