Hallonbåtsflyktingen

There's a new Swedish movie coming out today that I think I might want to go and watch.
In Swedish it's called: Hallonbåtsflyktingen and in Finnish it's called Vadelmavenepakolainen. Which means raspberry boat refugee in English.
And it has premiere today!!

Story
Hallonbåtsflyktingen is a comedy about a Swedish man caught in a Finnish body.
Mikko Virtanen hates everything that is Finnish. He has since childhood wished to leave the great silence, sauna, knife fights and "Kosken" for regular Swedish lifestyle including the Swedish national insurance agency, refrigerator temperature soured milk and ABBA.
On a Finland ferry Mikko runs into the Swedish psychologist Mikael, who has grown tired of the whole Swedish "ordinariness of life." On deck the two hits life-critical agreement; Mikko will take over Mikael's identity and finally become homegrown Swedish. Now he is just getting to know his new Swedish family...

Funny thing is, looking at the trailers it kinda feels like two different kinds of movies.
