On the train journey home last week I watched a Swedish film, "Farsan" (which means dad). It was so funny, all about integration and cultures crashing into one another and the people being squashed inbetween. It also treats the subject of manliness; what is it to be a man and what does a woman want?

Dad works at a bike shop together with Juan and Jörgen who owns the shop. Jörgen is worried about his marriage; he is a softie who never knows what he wants and feels like his wife wants a tougher guy. Juan is concerned about his old dog which has arthritis. The only one who hasn't got a problem in the world is Dad. His son is soon having a baby with his beautiful wife and creating the ultimate family happiness for them all. Besides Dad is everything a man should be; he could get any woman anywhere. He is though and strong and a great food, but when he starts to look for a grandmum nothing goes as expected...


I laughed so much when I watched this film and my parents and my brother also like this film, so it can satisfy every taste. So watch it!
