Swedish original version of HUMANS

Differences:
- Allegorical of migrants, dont know much English, work lowpaid jobs and factory work
- 'Huubots' all look like barbies, a lot more plastic look

- Huubots have USB charging ports, almost comedic.
- When Anita is being sold is a lot more brutal. Sex trade allegorical. Naming prices over her body.
