It's the story about a Swedish boy who due to his mother's illness is forced to live with his uncle in a small town full of eccentrics. After being accepted in the town he goes back to be with his mother but upon her death he goes back to live with his uncle for good.This film is one of the sweetest movies you will ever see. It's warm and funny and it's the cinematic equivalent of big bear hug that you never want out of. The performance given by the lead actor, Anton Glanzelius as the little boy who gets moved around too much, is nothing short of fantastic. And the performance given by the tom boy who is growing into her female body, Melinda Kinnamen, is touching and sweet as well.
If you have never seen this film you are missing out on one of the finest films ever made. It's well worth your time, even if you hate movies with subtitles.

I love this film, but you didn't allude to how terribly sad it is. And that is really why it moves me so: the violence with which it takes me from laughing hysterically to crying... an amazing film, well worth repeated viewings.
Never heard of it, but will surf on over to Netflix and add it in, if I can!
Have you ever seen "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes"?
I had forgotten about this film! It is beautiful and sad.
And for the record, I adore subtitles.
