A Swedish Love Story

Why we chose it

Roy Andersson was only 27 when he made his debut, a hit that crosses the Czech New Wave with Scandinavian chill. Over one Swedish summer two teenagers fall in love, while the adults around them have long forgotten how.

Synopsis

Pär and Annika are plainly drawn to each other one Swedish summer, yet neither can bring themselves to say so. The grown-ups around them drink, bicker and keep their marriages going out of sheer habit. These two are the only ones who still expect anything from life.
