The film emphasizes the issue whether a strong, dominating mother can replace an absent father for sons and suggests what consequences missing fatherhood might have for sons. It's beautifully filmed in Swedish locations and with excellent actors. The drama is special as it brings up subjects that seldom are recognized by authors nor producers. A young married male with children that probably has started a love affairs with an older gentleman. You never see them together and only the wife is suspecting that sex is involved. It's a dramatic story with a sort of understanding at the end. Life must go on in some way. It seems that the characters have matured and are ready for new decisions. The short film has been a success in USA and in some European countries in film festivals. I agree, it's a beautiful story very well acted and filmed in a restricted and respectful way.
