Sara used to play soccer with her friends. When she and her dad had to leave their country she was happy that they were going to Malmö, Sweden, where Zlatan lives. Her greatest wish is to see him play and maybe even meet him.
But all isn’t completely well. They may not be allowed to stay. And there is something strange about this new country where you have to wear a Swedish mask to hide that you are “different.”
Will Sara’s dreams come true? Or will her nightmares?
ME & MY DADDY & ZLATAN is based on the award-winning (ISV 2009, Kemi 2010) comics short story of the same name. The simple drawing style and the symbolism behind the masks in the story make it easy to empathize with the main character as she experiences different sides of Swedish society.
