I didn't even know this was a mini series in Sweden... I saw it just as one movie, transferred to a 35 mm print It's about two refugees who flee their refugee shelter, where they wait for their application for asylum to be accepted, in hope to find some other way of making it in Sweden. Their adventures are many and they will meet both good and `bad' Swedes.
Acting is great by all, and even if Ali's character is annoying at first, it will grow on you. The ending is comfortably set, and as such is predictable (Ali will switch with Massoud to go to Canada while Massoud will remain with Louise), but this is not really important. The characters are very well written and the plot is never boring, definitely a good touch on Lukas Moodysson's part as one of the writers. Ali and Massoud parting is a real tear jerker and so their friendship is really what this film is about.
