Synopsis:

The debut feature of Swedish director Roy Andersson, this deceptively simple romantic drama tells the story of the relationship that develops between two Stockholm teenagers, Annika (Ann-Sofie Kylin) and Par (Rolf Sohlman). Meeting at a family gathering in the countryside at the height of summer in 1970, the two youngsters have soon carved out their own passion-infused reality, oblivious to the disillusionment and social tensions in the adult world that surrounds them.

Andersson's feature film debut is a sunny, optimistic work that has drawn comparison to early films by Ingmar Bergman. Two adolescents meet and cautiously fall in love in beautiful surroundings during the peak of an idyllic Swedish summer. Oblivious to social boundaries, they innocently create their own milieu, expecting little from the adults around them.

A Swedish Love Story (Swedish: En kärlekshistoria) is a 1970 Swedish romantic drama directed by Roy Andersson, starring Ann-Sofie Kylin and Rolf Sohlman as two teenagers falling in love.
