Trivia
The painted, underground walkway scenes were not filmed at a prison but in fact at Bromma Hospital in Stockholm. Paintings were done by psychiatric patients as a form of therapy from 1970's onward. The walkway has since been demolished and the paintings have been lost. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

A funny little film, wich was greatly acclaimed at the Gothenburg Film Festival 1999. Although I think it lacks a bit of the reality of its English equivalents (it has been compared to "The Full Monty"), it still is one of the best Swedish comedies in recent years. The films biggest asset - I think - is the ensemble; even if it is a rather light-hearted comedy, the actors take the film very seriuosly, and make the viewers time in the cinema-darkness a real pleasure.
