Absurd storyline! Not even funny anymore. Something wit a boy, an elephant from Africa, a book, a sister, a soldier. Really impossible to tell coherently what the synopsis is. There's a magician in the story as well and he knows real magic, no tricks. Despite this he's not loved by his audience, so that's why he summons an elephant from the sky, which falls on an old lady and that is start of a relationship with the magician. Then the boy starts a fight with a knight. I really don't understand why everybody is very cheerful about this because the knight tries to kill the boy, but then the boy remembers he has a fairytale book with the knight's name in it. So the fight is halted when the boy shows jp with the book...

The movie is suprisingly neutral with regard to the religious motivation of the characters. This makes the movie very interesting because you can understand the jihadists as well as their victims. The Swedish broadcasting studio has done a good job in showing how people with different backgrounds make their choices, sometimes with devastating consequences.

The ambiance is rather sinister as the actors seem to be picked for other reasons than matching with the characters.
