A wry, talky Swedish comedy of awkward lies and small-town shame, played with dry warmth and gentle embarrassment.

Overview: Rulle has a secret child out of wedlock in Gotland. When she suddenly turns up in Stockholm he doesn't want to explain it to his wife so he sells the fatherhood to his neighbour.
How it feels: Satirical, warm, melancholic and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, deception, parenthood, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
