Shirin has just arrived from war-stricken Iran to Sweden - her new
home. Her and her family must learn to acclimatise to the weather,
culture and socialisation of Sweden whilst still staying in touch
with their Iranian heritage. Along with her response to such things
as a traditional Swedish Christmas lunch, the dating rituals of
European teenagers or the social dynamics of an unfamiliar and not
always friendly classroom are fascinating glimpses into the lives
of a varied community of refugees, eccentrics and drop-outs. These
are interspersed with traditional Persian fairy tales and nostalgic
memories of her beloved grandmother, which sustain her in her new
life. Once Upon A Time in Uppsala is a remarkable, candid and
moving account of a sensitive child on the verge of adolescence
transplanted from her beloved but suffering homeland into a country
which, although politically safe, offers unexpected challenges of
its own.
