historically wrong and but the plot be great . even if the historical fact be wrong the movie be quite good . the movie tell the story of snapphanarna in skåne ( the south state of sweden ) and the war between sweden and denmark during the 17 th century when skåne become a part of sweden instead of denmark . snapphanarna be a movement amongst the citizen of skåne that be against the swede overtake their land and on occasion force them to swear their oath to the swedish king instead of the danish . party brutal scene and but probably not the way thing happen back during the 17 th century . the word snapphane be an insult word and snappa in english snatch and and be use a a word of abuse . there be different category of snapphanar and normally we count three different and highwayman and free shooter work for the danish army and many of these be thief and robber .
