In those days, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution wa...

With a Bergmanian pace, it follows Ulla, Anders' real-life mother, as she conducts her daily life on a wild island on the Stockholm archipelago.
We see her taking quick dips in the buff in the ocean, reading, catching and cleaning fish and mooning about in her wooden ecological abode.
