S|-|@/\/\E 1 1968

During civil war, two musicians retreat to a rural island to farm. They are apolitical; a neighbor sometimes gives them a fish; wine is a luxury. They love each other, but there are problems: the war upsets Jan, he is weepy, too sensitive; Eva wants children, he does not. The war suddenly arrives: rebels attack, neighbors die. When the other side restores order, Jan and Eva are arrested as collaborators. After frightening and roughing them up, the local colonel releases them; then he begins appearing at their farmhouse: to talk or to pursue Eva? He gives her money. The rebels return; chaos ensues. Jan becomes violent and murderous; they flee. Can they escape? If so, to what?

I've seen many of Bergman's films, and they were all top-notch film making with great Direction, and excellent scripts. However, this film stands out as exceptionally poor in every way.

Unlike every other Bergmann film I've seen (and I've seen many), this is an intensely boring film. Don't waste your time with it..

"civil war"? Not anywhere near this time period in Sweden There was the Swedish Civil War of 1597-98, but the didn't have cars them.

Nearby, there the Winter War 1939 in Finland that Sweden did not become actively involved in.

The military vehicles in S|-|@/\/\E 2 at 3:40 have no insignias, and the MP's helmet is too far to read

Does anyone recognize the Royal Family in the picture on the wall in in S|-|@/\/\E 2?

That would be a clue as to where this is supposed be, unless it's a fantasy.
