Trivia:
Director Per Fly originally came up with the idea of making the film after reading an article by the leader of charity organization Kirkens Korshær about poverty and social problems in Denmark. As part of his later research he intensely followed the work of a social counselor for some time. He based the film's characters on the people he saw and met during that period. moreGoofs:

I can see on the message boards, that this film does not come with English subtitles - only Danish for the hearing impaired, so foreigners don't get much help ... however, the Cinema version should have English subtitles.
It is actually a great shame, because this film is not really about something special Scandinavian.
Above all, it is good to see, that really good movies touching important themes can be done without a Hollywood budget.
There is an old quote in Danish culture: "People say that Jeppe is drinking, but they don't say why Jeppe is drinking". This film illustrates this point very well.
But the film is part of a trilogy, so maybe they make a boxed set in the future with English subtitles ... one can only hope.
