In 1970, Roy Andersson made this first feature film, a critical and popular success that in several respects emulated an early, but more joyful, Ingmar Bergman. Two adolescents meet and cautiously fall in love amidst beautiful surroundings, during the peak of an idyllic Swedish summer. Oblivious to social boundaries, they innocently create their own milieu, expecting little from the adults around them.
