"Filmen handlar om en pojke som bor i Göteborg."

Translation: The movie is about a boy who lives in Gothenburg.

[Sigep1901dl]

Why is "the movie is about a boy that lives in Gothenburg" not accepted? Even the word "som" is closer to "that" rather than "who". In any event, they mean the same thing here...

[Zmrzlina]

Fair enough, added it.

[bogdanmateescu]

why ´+the film tells+ is not accepted..

[Lundgren8]

’The film tells about a boy’ is not idiomatic English.

What's the actual translation of handlar?
