Saw this movie last night and it was a reasonable movie that was actually excellently portrayed during the war years in neutral Sweden. A farmer's daughter who goes to the big city and as a waitress she punches a young man with a real Kraut head . This young man was a rich louse son of a director who has economic ties with Nazi Germany. The movie is quite captivating and you keep watching until the end. At the end the husband turns out to be a big jerk. The ending is poorly finished compared to the rest of the movie

Three hours seems like a long time, but not for a film like this. The story is told calmly and with an eye for detail and gives a beautiful picture of the Swedish countryside, interspersed with life in Stockholm. The story begins when Hitler invades Poland and ends with the German capitulation. We follow the life of Annika, a farmer's daughter who tries her luck in the big city. She hooks a handsome young man of good descent and seems to start a comfortable life. In the underlying layer, questions are asked about Sweden's role in WWII; it is of course nice to remain neutral, but at what price? The ending feels a bit abrupt and could have been worked out better in my opinion.
