Contents

Plot

The story follows two musicians, who, as a result of civil war, have moved away from society to a farm on a rural island. They are apolitical and indifferent to the war. Although they are in love, Jan (Sydow) is very sensitive and cries frequently. Eva (Ullmann) does not like his sensitivity, but puts up with it. The war eventually catches up with them, however.

Cast

Production

The film was shot on location on the small island Fårö, just north of the island Gotland, outside Sweden's south-east coast. It had a budget of SEK 2,800,000.

Notes

The couple formerly played in an orchestra, so they have a framed picture of composer Richard Wagner on their wall.
