Removing pointless spoiler tags; it is quite obvious that there are trolls in this Scandinavian film about people who look like trolls.


* [[spoiler:AllTrollsAreDifferent: Trolls in this film pass as humans, if quite ugly (by human standards). Tina even has a job and a (human) boyfriend. Dogs dislike her, but wild animals are very friendly to her. And there is the way trolls reproduce.]]

WHYYYYY WOULD YOU PUT THE TWIST OF THE STORY RIGHT IN THE PLOT SUMMARY WITHOUT EVEN A SPOILER TAG WHAT THE HELL


Tina is a woman who works for the Swedish Customs, and her supernatural sense of smell allows her to detect suspicious people such as smugglers and pedophiles. She also looks quite weird (this film was nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 91st Academy Awards) and is conscious that most people think she is ugly. One day she meets a man named Vore who looks similarly strange. Weird things happen and he tells her that the two of them are trolls, not human beings.
