A terrible incident during a childhood summer holiday suddenly comes back to Erik as he discovers a particular obituary in the newspaper. The year was 1962, and Erik was supposed to spend the entire summer in a house in the countryside together with his elder brother Henry and a classmate. The days were passing in a steady, peaceful rhythm while the kids were busy doing mostly nothing. Then one day, Henry embarked upon a relationship with the beautiful Ewa Kaludis, who, besides having been Eriks favourite substitute teacher, most of all resembled Kim Novak. But a beauty like that was of course not just there for the taking, and Ewas former boyfriend was of the rather aggressive sort. Martin Asphaug has applied a Stephen King-like tone to his summery coming-ofage story, based on a novel by Håkan Nesser. It is funny and rich in atmosphere, but beneath the idyllic exterior, unpleasant secrets are lurking.
I thought this movie was great.
I usually don't like Swedish movies (I'm Swedish myself, mind you) but this was great. I like how the past mixed with the future and I thought the ending was really surprising!
It's not really a thriller. It's not an action movies. But I wasn't bored. I like the feeling in this movie. It's a story about true friendship. :)
It made me somewhat nostalgic.
I would really recommend this movie to people who doesn't want gunshots every five minutes, fast cars and explosions.IMDB Reviewer
