Brief Explanation
A group of refugees of middle-eastern origin are sitting in a classroom, trying to learn Norwegian. Young girls and boys are solemnly struggling with the unfamiliar words of a language that is obviously very new to them. Eager to get the intonation right, the young refugees are seemingly oblivious to the fact that the words used in the learning process are harsh comments from immigrant-hostile Norwegian Facebook-pages. This is made absolutely clear to the audience by superimposing a racist Facebook status on the screen as the last immigrant boy repeats a Norwegian word, trying to read the last word from the status correctly.
