As a married couple struggling to make a living Harry and Monika soon find their love disintegrating. Once again, Ingmar Bergman totally engrosses us in this sensitive study of young love, eliciting great performances from Lars Ekborg as the ernest Harry and Harriet Andersson as the wild and willful Monika.
