Synopsis:

The Gang of Lidingo is a fairy-tale for adults, based on a true story and told from the children’s

naive perspective. It’s about how my family changed the 70’s left-winged part of Stockholm for Lidingo, a upper class suburb with conservative ideals, just as the 80’s had begun. In our new neighbourhood we, the children, were regarded as suspect elements. Did we belong to the

refugee camp that recently moved here? And what were we planning, while the journalists were sneaking around? Talented in diplomacy, we finally got new friends. They taught us how to get to drive in the VIP lane, and how to live a jet set life. And our teachers weren’t just anybody. The

gang of Lidingo ended up behind bars. So far so good, we thought. Then one day the journalists

knocked on my family’s door.

 

 

Lidingöligan är en saga för vuxna berättat ur barnens naiva perspektiv. Om hur min familj bytte

70-talets röda innerstad mot 80-tal och borgerlig förort med blå ideal. I vårt nya kvarter blev vi

barn betraktade som suspekta element. Hörde vi ihop med den flyktingförläggning som nyss

flyttat hit? Eller med journalisterna som stod på rad för att göra ett perfekt samhällsreportage?

Med diplomatisk övertalning fick vi nya vänner till slut. Dom lärde oss hur man åker gräddfil och

hur man får tillträde till ett jet set liv. Och våra läromästare var inte vilka som helst; Lidingöligan hamnade bakom galler till slut. ...Så en dag ringde journalisterna på min familjs dörr.
