Hussein has moved in to live with a family. He comes from a warzone and is now battling to get a residence permit to stay in Sweden. The daughter of the family, Disa, is not particularly keen, she thinks they were doing well just as they were; besides the room Hussein gets to live in has both rats and mould. And her mother seems to mostly want to chat to Max, the man who runs the organisation helping children from the war. However Disa’s boyfriend Zacke, is delighted. He has been longing to make a difference in the world and sets about renovating the room. But the room is really in a dreadful state and Hussein feels he cannot sleep there. But where will he sleep then? Should he really share a room with Disa, is that such a good idea?

Hussein is a romantic comedy about arriving in a new country, being grateful for what one gets and finding love where you least expect it. A play about an open heart that perhaps was never really closed in the first place.
