Shame that is such great production, good acting, directing goes to such a dull screenplay! Short dull conversations, flat characters with almost no dimension, lack of organic connection between the different characters of the show, especially the main characters. Unless its a love interest! Most of the side characters are there to serve a line or move a plot in a certain direction with no clear ambition or motive! In addition reliance on over used story shticks the we saw times and times again in dated soap operas and telenovela! The show had so much potential to actually discuss the changes in the Swedish society in a more in depth.

I heard a lot about the show and I really wanted to like it as I think that I am genuinely a fan of Swedish drama but i think it failed to live for it's potential here.

Where to begin? Defying all the taboos and presenting a queer love story in arabic cinema, a pure presentation of love at its best. Beautifully filmed and edited in a magnificent and elegant craft. Career defying performance by the film leads! Devastating and yet beautiful story/ fairytale if i dare say so.

Intimate, personal, small yet larger than life film where the vulnerability of its characters made me feel i was an intruder in their presence ears dropping on their story from behind the curtain. Feeling their emotions and sharing their experiences Thanks to the beautiful work of its director. I wish for the whole world to watch this film because it is exactly why I love cinema! This film have the power to change lives!
