Plot summary

Children of the Enemy is the story of bohemian musician Patricio whose daughter married one of Europe’s most notorious ISIS terrorists. They left for Syria in 2014 and, as the Caliphate crumbles five years later, both get killed. Their seven small children survive and are placed in the monstrous refugee camp Al-Hol. When the Swedish authorities neglect to act on behalf of the children, grandfather Patricio is forced to take it upon himself to try to get them out. (the production company's synopsis)

Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av dokumentära bilder av skottlossning, maskerade soldater och blödande barn, undernärda barn i flyktingläger i stark utsatthet samt upprört gräl inför små barn, vilket kan medföra oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
