Homosexuals also have rights to love and be loved.

Goran and Sven are gay, and Goran achingly wants to adopt a child. However, no country allows gays to adopt a child. After being turned down by a few refusals, they receive a letter that tells them they were going to have a baby, who is named Patrik, as their adopted son. Surprisingly, they find a teenage who is actually 15 comes to their home. Worse still, Patrik hates gays.
Actually, the movie reveals the social phenomena that people discriminate homosexual people. A family holds a party and invites everybody in the neighbourhood except the gay couple. Goran is a doctor and he gives children routine checks on their body. When a father finds that his son takes off his clothes, he is mad at Goran. He is so afraid that his son will be raped by Goran, but actually Goran is just giving the boy an injection. Adults discriminate Goran and Sven, not mention that children play tricks on them . At the end of this movie, the discrimination problem still hasn't solved.
Homosexuals aren't abnormal. Goran and Sven don't mind others poking fun at them. They don't resent those heterosexuals who don't understand them as well, and they just live their own life. Patrik finally accepts this couple because they love him and treat him very sincerely. They turn a child who has criminal records into a good child. When Goran found Patrik good at gaderning, he takes him to buy some flowers and gaderning tools and let him do the gaderning. Patrik soon builds his confidence and finds his value. Can you imagine how moved I am when I saw Goran, Sven and Patrik wearing similar clothes and jogging together. Goran and Patrik are gays but that doesn't mean they have bad behaviour. The movie wants to show us that homosexuals are the same with heterosexuals, they have the same right to love and be loved.
