In the King’s Town is a six-episode animation series and an independent, 60-minute animated film, based on interviews with Roma families who moved from North Karelia to Sweden, and on the musical tradition of Roma immigrants in the Seventies. Its main character, 7-year-old Feija Fors, leaves behind the dying village of Juuka and starts school in the huge suburb of Jakobsberg near Stockholm. Feija’s traveling companion, a stray wolf that walks on two legs, does not make it easy for the duo to integrate in the big city, but in the end both find their own ways to adapt to a world that is full of challenges and opportunities.
