Sommaren med Monika = Summer with Monika

A chance meeting between Harry, an errand boy, and Monika, a wild and reckless young woman from the poorer quarter of Stockholm (a strikingly assured performance by Andersson), leads to an affair and an escape from the city for a holiday on the nearby islands. The summer idyll is abruptly shattered when Monika finds that she is pregnant. While Harry accepts the responsibilities of parenthood, Monika is less willing. The light and open space of the islands is contrasted with the dark claustrophobia of the city. Also available on VHS.
