Mirsad is a young man in his early 20s who works in a cafe with Adrian. He's supposedly the boss, but seems unsure of his authority. Ove refers to him as the "young man" before learning his name. Mirsad is gay and comes out to his father, Amel, who then kicks Mirsad out. Ove reluctantly takes Mirsad in and has a conversation with Amel to convince him to accept his son. Mirsad later marries Jimmy and the two adopt a daughter.
