Set against the inner city backdrop in central Gothenburg Sweden Play is a frequently harrowing and thoughtful film about manipulation bullying identity race and customs. It is based on a series of real cases of bullying and robbery that occurred between 2006 and 2008 when a group of boys aged 12-14 rob other children on about 40 occasions.

Three schoolchildren find themselves the victims of a group of young black con artists in this Swedish racial drama from director Ruben Östlund. After approaching three local boys - two white and one of Asian descent - in a Gothenburg shopping mall, a group of black teenagers accuse one of the boys of owning a stolen mobile phone belonging to one of their brothers, demanding that they accompany them on a short trip so that the brother can resolve the issue. Over the coming hours, as the streetwise black youths play a psychological game, preying on the fears and stereotypes of their victims without ever resorting to direct violence, the reserved, anxious-not-to-offend local kids are led on a march through some of Gothenburg's more unfamiliar areas.
