What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.

A German businessman wants to buy land in southern Sweden for a gigantic amusement park, his new project called "Deutschneyland" (a wordplay of Deutschland and Disneyland). Some of the locals dislike the idea, including the magically talented Lindberg family, and work to frustrate the development plans.
