"I wanted to make a film about the people I've always loved – but was ashamed to be part of. I wanted to redefine the Swede's image of Sweden and national identity. I wanted the leading role to be an intense, cocky, straight- forward Muslim working class girl who doesn't give a shit what others think about her. I wanted to portrait a father-daughter relationship I never got to see on screen when I was a young girl. I wanted to tell the story about young people today, in the midst of the European unemployment crisis, trying to adapt to a contradictory society." Gabriela Pichler
