The Sjölund family on Lillholmen in the archipelago of Stockholm is quite religious and is considered suitable for dealing with odd specimens of wild youth placed there by one of Stockholm's youth associations for young girls..


If you have a soft spot for dusty, black-and-white Swedish comedies where everyone talks way too fast and someone is always playing an accordion, this is probably your jam. Anyone else will likely find it incredibly loud and a bit confusing. The whole thing is about a very religious family living out on a quiet island...

They get hired to look after some "wild youth" girls from the big city, and as you can guess, absolute chaos immediately happens. Honestly, the plot..."
