A Hustler's Diary
2017 · Movie · 97 min. · Sweden
Metin (Can Demirtas) is 25 and lives in a Stockholm suburb governed by its own unwritten rules. He is different. He sees and feels more than other people and, what is more, he has a gift for turning this into words. He writes a diary about everything he experiences. What he sees, where he goes and who he meets is documented in great detail. It makes good literature, but if it ended up in the hands of the police, half of the locals would end up in prison. If it ended up in the wrong hands, things wouldn’t go well for Metin. And what if it ended up with a publisher? When the diary disappears one day, Metin’s life is turned upside down. A surprising portrait of a man living between two worlds. A film inspired by real events.
