12-year-old Leo is being bullied by two older guys in school. In the end he loses his patience and brooding revenge. This story is interwoven with the story of an immigrant taxi driver Ali, whose entire existence is threatened by his dark past - a woman from his homeland to get in touch with him and want him to participate in an attack. You may follow Leo and Ali's life: they do things they never thought they would need to do. The decisions are difficult but important. But it's not just drama, it is also love at stake. (official distributor synopsis)

Two inter-tangled fateful stories about the fact that headlines in the newspaper such as “Child violence in the suburbs!" or “Terrorist is a murderer!" are just the tip of the iceberg and nothing is clear-cut and black-and-white. A great screenplay with splendid acting performances and, although combining the issues of terrorism and child violence in a movie set in small town Sweden might seem like nonsense, it works and it’s darn powerful. This movie makes you to think, leaves a powerful impression, addresses interesting and relevant topics, has great actors and is well filmed. I can’t fault it in any way.
