    Funny, but confusing
    Claes Eriksson, who created this movie, has said that of all his movies, this was the one he wasn't satisfied with. And perhaps all the strange relationships between all the odd characters is a bit confusing, but all the funny names and jokes alone, makes the movie worth seeing. And I know something you don't know...
