What happens

Nattbuss 807 (English: Night Bus 807) is a Swedish true crime thriller film based on the real murder of a young skinhead in 1992. The film was released to cinemas in Sweden on 28 February 1997, directed by David Flamholc. The film is based on a true story and events of the 1992 murder of a young boy in Vendelsö during the Stockholm Water Festival. The movie received mixed reviews but gained "cult" status by the younger audience in Sweden. The movie's script and dialogues are taken directly from the real murder investigation. Many scenes in the movie and most of the dialogue happened in real life, such as the fights, the hooliganism, the police hearings and many of the pieces of evidence found. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
