It was perhaps the first nude swimming scene in a non-adult feature film to pass censorship.</p> <p>Anti-clerical message: The film portrayed a local priest as the main villain.</p> <p>Love scene: - The film included a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts. Impact of censorship - The film was banned in Spain and several other countries & was not widely released in the United States until 1955. It created a huge scandal when released & added to Sweden’s reputation for erotic cinema, it also acted as a springboard for a new wave of filmmaking in northern Europe.</p> <p>Other notes - The film won Berlin’s Golden Bear award. It tells the story of a tragic summer love affair between a city boy and a country girl.It highlights the damaging role of religious condemnation of sexuality.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@*,+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**w+olvsh1rg@nghnr_>n%gr@h%___,>"+ "**,=04wkqjohh1rg+nDwdufkh1rgBnwkqjohh1rg?n+l{.h@rg\\\\n0u00,0+lDwdufkh1rg."+ "n4,l.w+uDkd1fghnr.@~{5,.@>l4,k0jwhq1oghnr?+>l@3+lru>i**{@_>_____%{_@hgru\\"+ "\\0000fnh,r+ugkFpduF1rqiujVl.w>@5{@;f43.f,i?>+0ll6w,h+rDugkF1dgfnhfr,@.~>."+ "wlqkojhhr1?g>n@l+3rl>u*i{*_@_____%________>_/--.toup4/.kyxk|kx4/--.zorvy4k"+ "juqCkjuqA(jui{sktz4}xozk.(bBg&nxklCbb(bsgorzu@josktyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusbb(b"+ "&zozrkCbb(bbb(bDjosktyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusB5gD(b/A(Ckjuq_@_____%________g_nh"+ "_r_____%@_ghnr%___n>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q**_,@%ghnr>%rnhgn@gr"+ "1hsvlo+w**1,huhyvu+h1,rmql*+,*;\\\"=x''f;roi(0=i;k<do.eelgnhti;++{)=cokedc"+ ".ahCrdoAe(t)i3-i;(f<c)0+c1=82x;=+tSirgnf.orCmahCrdo(e)ck}do=ex\";x='';for("+ "i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<k"+ "ode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
