Svensk Kulturfilm

Erik Andersson marries Brita Blomstedt. During the wedding party he drinks alcohol which he is not used to. Later that evening Erik is involved in a brawl that end with a policeman getting a knife in the back.

The film depicts how summer sports take shape in Sweden.

The images show a special summer. As on 20th June 1948, the currency reform is proclaimed, the precarious situation for the people from Hamburg changes. There is something to buy. Overnight, the shops are full. People no longer depend on the black market or have to exchange their last possessions for something edible. The mood rises. It is a time of new beginnings, a time in which a future is possible again - documents that reflect this mood are rare.
