In fifteen minutes! ‘. He was referring to the wrinkles in the middle of his eyebrows, which in Swedish we call a “trouble wrinkle”, because it indicates that you’ve had to put up with a lot of battles in your life…I thought that choice said something about our time and our obsession with appearances.“.
