My Uncle Jens

Akam lives a comfortable and carefree life in a shared flat with friends in Oslo. When his uncle from Kurdistan comes on an unannounced visit, Akam has to practice Kurdish hospitality and invites him to stay for a couple of days.

As days turns into weeks, the shared flat becomes a bit too tiny. It is soon revealed that his uncle has smuggled himself into Norway and has intentions of staying.
