Akam, a young literature teacher, lives a comfortable life in Oslo until his estranged uncle from the Iranian part of Kurdistan comes for a surprise visit. Despite limited space in his shared flat with friends, Akam feels obligated to invite his uncle to stay for a few days. However, his uncle quickly makes himself at home and shows no sign of leaving anytime soon. Torn between his sense of familial duty and growing tension in the flat, Akam begins to suspect there's more to his uncle's visit than just a casual trip. What follows is a series of revelations and unexpected events that could have life changing consequences for them both.

A pretty well made movie with an interesting tone. Sidn't like some of the performances that much, but other than that pretty cool

Synd at jeg ikke klarer bli emosjonelt invistert i norske filmer. Masse potensiale, men faller ganske flatt når d kommer til hele UDI dama subplotten.

I don't know if the kurds are well represented but the norwegians in this, spot on.
