After graduating from high school 19 year old Göran goes to his uncle Anders's farm in the countryside for recreation. It's summer and a lot of work to do at the farm, but he, the city student, isn't accustomed to that. He falls in love with 17 year old Kerstin, and suddenly he is very engaged in country life. Göran is a foreigner, but he quickly blends in with the village youth. They are in a bitter conflict with the vicar, who condemns all their activities as immoral. When the vicar forbids the youth to use the school for their meetings anymore, Anders gives them an old barn, which they start renovating. Kerstin has a strict mother, who in vain forbids her to take part in the youth activities. She goes there with Göran.

I saw the movie in Hungary with my girl friend in 1955. I was 21 years old and she was 19. My girl friend was a simple little girl who never was yet in love with anybody. She loved me very much and I started to love her after the ending of a previous affair with a girl who left me for a wealthy man. She was so similar to Kerstin. She became my Kerstin. I even called her in my mind Kerstin and those who knew us and saw the movie also called her Kerstin. (It was a very popular movie in Hungary and many people saw it). The movie had the greatest impression on us, ..even more so on me.. The story of true love. I fall in love with my Kerstin and married her a year later....49 years ago. I still love my Kerstin. I would love to buy the movie in DVD or in any other format. Could anybody help? Is it available?
