Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film begins in the remote countryside of post-war Balkan. Gzim is a tough teenager in a leather jacket who only speaks Albanian. As time rewinds Gzim transforms into an eleven year old boy in bomb-razed Kosovo, a boy who visits a demolished mosque and tries to find out who he is in the new country. He speaks a confused mix of the languages of his childhood; German, Norwegian, English and Swedish. Again time rewinds a few years, back to when Gzim lived hidden in a church in Norway. From there Gzim and his family flee to Sweden were Gzim switches his Norwegian for Swedish and dreams of a bright future. After this last transformation into an almost Scandinavian boy the film reaches the breaking point; the day when Gzim comes to his friend Knutte Wester to tell him that he has been expelled from Sweden.
