Also Jason Diakité, Imenella and Sandra Stojiljkovic are participating.

In the documentary novel, Nicolas Lunabba depicts how he saves a Malmö boy from gang life. Lunabba has been involved in founding the organization Hela Malmö, and it was there that Rudwan Socdal had sought when he, together with his friends, was tempted to audition.

His effort in the meeting with the experienced actor Peshang Rad, who will play Nicolas Lunabba in the film, convinced the film team.

One just wanted to keep looking at them. They had such a fine chemistry, even between the auditions, says director Rojda Sekersöz to Sydsvenskan.

The film will be named "Innan vi lyfter".
