Dir. Ella Lemhagen, Sweden, 2008, 100min, Swedish with English subtitles.

A spirited romantic comedy about the ups and downs of adoption. Recently married Swedish gay couple Sven and Goran are happily married, and dream of adopting a child and moving to a perfect home in the suburbs. There is just one problem – an unfortunate typo at the adoption agency puts a comma in the wrong place and instead of a baby boy aged 1.5, they are sent a homophobic 15 year old street kid. Havoc ensues as the trio attempt to tolerate each other long enough for the
mismatch to be corrected. Exceptionally well put together, smart, funny and very moving, this quirky queer-family comedy has won audience awards at queer film festivals in Sydney, Melbourne, London and San Francisco.
