Bo Widerberg returns to the World War 2 working class Malmö of his childhood, scene of his earliest feature film triumphs ("Raven's End", 1963, etc.), with this intimate portrayal of a rite of passage (15-year-old Stig and Viola, his 37-year-old teacher) and developments beyond: the love affair comes to an end, the woman moves on with perfect ease, while the boy has to face some harsh reality.
