In the nomination text, The Hedda Jury described I Call My Brothers as follows:

"After the bomb attacks in Stockholm 2010, Swedish immigrants for the first time experienced how it was to be suspected of terrorisms simply because of their looks. People were afraid. What is normal behaviour? Who is a potential culprit? In an intense period of 24 hours, I Call My Brothers enter the inside of the main character Amir's head, where the limits between criminal and victim, love and chemistry, imagination and reality, are gradually erased."
