In Sweden in the early 1900s – in a time of social change and poverty – the young working class woman Maria wins a camera in a lottery. The camera enables Maria to see the world through new eyes, but it also becomes a threat to her somewhat alcoholic womanizer of a husband, as it brings the charming photographer Pedersen into her life.
“It was for many years a dream for me to make a film that takes place in precisely such an environment as this, a film story that affords me the opportunity of drawing on my own childhood feelings and memories”, – says director Jan Troell.
Jan Troell was born in 1931 in Sweden. He worked as a teacher for nine years and was making his first short movies and documentaries. Troell international breakthrough came with his epic film version of Wilhelm Moberg‘s novel, „The Emigrants“ (1971) and „The New land“ (1972). Fallowing its success in the USA, Troell and Ullmann were invited to Hollywood, where Troell directed „Zandy‘s Bride“ (1974). He found the experience unpleasant. Troell returned to Sweden and made the film „Bang!“ (1977) in response to his own artistic crisis. Troell made his comeback as a director with his 1991 film „Il Capitano“, a thriller about a couple on the run.
