It has some of the same feel, but is more whimsical and fantastical. We came in in the middle of it at a science fiction convention. It was Swedish, and was about a plot by bureaucrats to turn a village into "Deutch-neyland". The villagers are assisted by a friendly giant. Someday I want to see the whole thing from the beginning.
