Synopsis
News regarding the mysterious death of a teenager named Talib bin Hasi in police custody went viral in Arab neighborhood of Svalgården. Angry demonstrations take place protesting his “killing”. Meanwhile two police officers Jens and Mike, find themselves facing rising anger. The film tackles the hot topic of police hence transferring us to the tension between policemen and Arab immigrants after the death of a teenager whose last words were "I can not breathe" This reminds us of the killing of George Floyd by the American police. The film is well-made and gives a rough narrative about how law enforcement is viewed in this part of the world.
