| Editorial Reviews:
A chance meeting leads to unlikely encounters between a Jewish psychiatrist and a young neo-Nazi in this subtitled Swedish drama. After a tussle with some fellow skinheads, Sören boards a train, and is approached by Jacob, who finds himself fascinated by the young man. The psychiatrist asks the young man to come to his office, and a series of meetings ensue. Sören, whose life consists of working out in his room, listening to heavy metal, and participating in violent attacks with his skinhead gang, thinks he is preparing himself for racial warfare. Jacob's perspective couldn't be more different, as his father and sister were killed at Auschwitz after he and his mother escaped from the Nazis. Much of the film consists of their tense conversations, and when Jacob reveals his Jewishness to Sören, the reaction is explosive. The doctor, who is haunted by his own memories, doggedly tries to make the young racist explain why he hates so many people. The film portrays in a realistic manner how the two might get along in a strained fashion, and is honest in its depiction of how they never come close to understanding each other. --Robert J. McNamara
