Good script, good direction, good photography and good performances, specially from the children. This story about bullying and problematic families would have everythiing if it wouldn't be because it is too obvious and predictable. Almost, manipulative. I think I even liked it more because I'm starting to "understand" more and more the Scandinavian culture and its problems.
