    • Trivia
      It took six years of screen-writing for Bo Widerberg before production started. The project was announced in 1988, but because of the lack of co-financiers, besides the Swedish Film Institute, it was postponed till 1994.
    • Goofs
      RCA Red Seal records are shown playing on the phonograph nearly every time Stig and Kjell are listening to classical music, and when Stig is listening to a classical recording at his home; none of the pieces on the soundtrack were RCA recordings.

    To be young and in love with your teacher!
    This is the life most men wish they had - an affair with their teacher. But all were not so pretty as the one in here. It's a coming of age story set in a time when men were going off to die in wars and those left behind were trying to make sense of it all in a society that was slowly crumbling. More complicated than now but still relevant in today's youth. All handled brilliantly by the Swedish director, Bo Widerberg, who loves to tell his tales in sensual lighting and locations. He sometimes tends to go soapy but held it in line for hi last work of art. Hewas to pass away a couple of years later. But he left us with another tender story for the soul.
