Though gruff and often grumpy, the two kids soon realize that Yngve still has a lot of love to give, and they set out to help him meet a woman. They happen upon Miss Svanstrom (Cecilia Nilsson), and before long Yngve and Miss Svanstrom are an item. That is, until the richest man in the village tries to foil their newfound happiness. ...A Summer Tale ( Den bästa sommaren )

He's from Stockholm, she's from Uppsala - and they're in love!
22 Nov 2010
This is a great film, suitable for all ages. Set in 1958, it's full of whimsy and curiousness as two eleven year old foster children make the trip to a sleepy Swedish village to spend the summer holidays with a klutzy old bachelor who is virtually the town pariah.
All the performances are spot on and it is a good complement to My Life as a Dog (1985 - how time flies) and perhaps, although this is a much grittier, meatier film, Cross My Heart and Hope to Die (1994) It is interesting to note that Brasse Brannstrom - who has a supporting role in A Summer Tale as Sven(what a wet title, by the way - what was wrong with The Best Summer?)is a Swedish comedian and actor now co-wrote My Life as a Dog.
The final scenes of the film may be somewhat belaboured, but this film is great family viewing - and the kids are alright!
As an afterthought - the DVD I saw had no special features (not even chapter index) but the subtitles were fine. It is available commercially but you'll have to do some research.
