This film has it all.

Great acting.

Great script.

The story is quirky and pulls you in.

The mixture of "conventional Sweden", the ex-patriot wife, and the Balkan immigrant community creates a powerful tension.

Wonderful photography/editing,

And charming theme song, thanks to Shel Silverstein.

Susan Anspach is a knockout in portraying the dislocated housewife amidst the bizarre immigrants of the Zanzibar.

It is an example of why small, independent films rule over the excesses of Hollywood garbage.
