The Writer Who Hated the Swedish Language

In 2025 it will be 80 years since the end of World War II. What was it like to live in Sweden during the war? How were people affected by everything that happened so close to home?

Thagang is the name of six girls' Snapchat group. This is where things happen now that they no longer see each other in school every day. They've been a group since nursery, and in the spring they finished at the Sweden-Finnish School. They've been in a Sweden-Finnish bubble, and now they're exploring new worlds for themselves. But their strong sense of friendship remains. This film portrays a day in their lives. It's a film about being 16, about friendship in the digital age, and puts the spotlight on how new forms of Sweden-Finnish identity express themselves in young people today
