Filmed on location in England the film is in both English and in Swedish.
The Film challenges discrimination and the need for rights to be carried out , from Copyright rights , black civil rights , gender rights and lastly gay rights. It presents the truth and reality of racism even amongst the wealth y and well to do where MAGDA the black lead is not accepted by her peers at the boarding school despite the financial clout being reached by MAGDAs parents.

and the Bela Tarr entry "A Torinoi Lo" (The Turin Horse) --
arguably the most bleak, depressing , and boring film ever made. It's all
about two miserable people livinng in a miserable life in a miserable hut

The Frumans of Frumania live in a
perfect but shallow world, accessed through an apple on a market stall. In
amongst the rotten bunch is Appleby Cox's-Pippin. He is generally dismissed by
his fellow Frumans for his inability to be the same as them, and for his love
of all things creative. Soon Appleby feels the strain of being an outcast and life
at home is no better.
Eventually
rejected by his hypocritical father, Appleby is forced to start a journey in search
of 'being the same', eventually encountering the evil Agent Orange and learning
a harsh lesson in what really lies close to the Fruman heart - greed.
