Synopsis
Like most large European cities, the suburbs of Stockholm are home to immigrants of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The young people of this community are confronted with a society that is suspicious of their presence, considering them social outcasts. There is a clear division between us and them. Partly for self-protection, partly because other avenues are blocked, the foreign youth find themselves drawn into gangs and they end up in lives dominated by drugs and crime. Manuel is one such youth. A shooting incident in central Stockholm leads to an accidental meeting between Manuel and his old girlfriend Lena, now a policewoman, and with his best friend Kalle, now a nightclub doorman. It is a meeting that will change their lives.
