A German businessman wants to buy land in southern Sweden for a gigantic amusement park, his new project called "Deutschneyland" (a wordplay of Deutschland and Disneyland). Some of the locals dislike the idea, including the magically talented Lindberg family, and work to frustrate the development plans.

VIBE

A whimsical, slightly absurd fable about a clash between big business and local charm. It feels like a quirky European fairy tale, blending gentle satire with a touch of magic and a whole lot of heart.
