Plot
The movie tells the story of Yasmin Demiroglu whose family moved from Turkey to Stockholm when she was eight years old. Yasmin's father Sinan had a good reputation as a cardio-thoracic surgeon while living in Turkey and is thus very unsatisfied with his job in Sweden – he is an underground train driver. Yasmin, 20 years of age, wants to show that she can fill an important position in society and has the big ambition of becoming the Minister of Justice of Sweden. Of course she has to begin in a small way and so she starts a police officer's apprenticeship at "Polishögskolan" where she meets Elin, a Swedish girl. The two of them become friends. Soon their relationship to each other and to their families are put to the test as several unexpected twists and turns take place.
