Bo Widerberg wrote and directed this domestic drama. Thommy Berggren is Anders, who works at a factory in Malimo, but dreams of being a writer. He lives with his parents in a poor section of the city. His father is an alcoholic whose desire for upper class respectability keeps him from working class employment, while his mother struggles as a washerwoman to earn enough money for the family's survival. Anders writes a first novel that is rejected by the publisher; he turns to the girl next door for sympathy and they fall in love. When she becomes pregnant and wants Anders to marry her, he sees his life unfolding like his parents' and has to decide whether to give up hope and raise a family or to head to Stockholm for a more hopeful future. — Paul Brenner
User Comments: A very touching film!
This film must have inspired many film makers,it´s perfect in every ways,the cinematography,acting,direction........ It´s not so famous in other countries then Sweden.But in Sweden this was actually picked in a newspaper as the best Swedish film ever made including all Bergman films.I think that it has done better films in Sweden but it´s still a perfect film.
Anders is 18 years old and lives with his parents in a poor section of the city.The acting is superb by Keve Hjelm as the alcoholic Father and the acting is great by the rest of the cast to.I am almost sure that I give this film 5/5 but it´s not the best Swedish film ever.
