One Summer of Happiness Page #2

- It's an amateur theater club...

...and they have a study circle.

They just want to play together.

- The farms are far apart.

- Will there be dancing tonight?

At the schooI? Are you insane?

The minister's already upset.

He feels that the only union-

- that God has blessed is marriage.

- And people buy that?

- The religious people support him.

What about you? Where do you stand?

Try to figure that one out.

Are you coming to the schooI?

- It's a backwater place.

- I don't really know.

Don't let the Fredriks hear you.

They toe the line for the minister.

- Why don't we go inside?

- Why are we out here?

- The schooI's locked.

- Go get the key.

- Klas went to get it.

- Did you get the key?

The meeting's off.

The minister won't give up the key.

- But we got permission.

- Let's break the door in.

Calm down!

There's no use getting all worked up.

- We'll have the meeting on Wednesday.

- Hell no, let's show the minister.

We'll show him!

I think we should go home.

Don't let him pass.

This road is closed.

- Please step aside.

- No, no... Stay there.

Damn minister...

I told you to step aside.

RascaI!

Calm down!

- What are you doing?

- The minister closed down the schooI.

I don't see how he can keep

people out of a public building...

- ... but this won't solve anything.

- There won't be any more meetings.

We can't just stand around here.

You can have my old barn. Fix it

up and have your meetings there.

- Thank you.

- Come. I have a suggestion for you.

Uncle Anders suggested that the

club would take over his old barn-

- and turn it into a meeting place.

It was a brilliant idea.

The youngsters needed a place-

- and here they had a roof and

four walls that nobody really used.

I caught myself keeping

an eye out for Kerstin.

But she never came.

- You can get started.

- Thanks.

It'll take a lot of hard work...

...but we can make it work.

We'll get started tomorrow-

- and you're more than welcome

to lend an extra hand.

No Kerstin tonight,

but Sylvia asked me to dance.

She was one of

the soft-lipped locaI girls.

Giddy-up, lovely girI.

Excuse me.

- So you came.

- Yes, I heard the music.

- What's all this?

- Great things.

- Come dance.

- No...

But Kerstin...

Sigrid... Are you listening

to the music from the barn?

- Is that our old barn?

- It's their barn now.

I wanted to do my part.

What do you think?

You'll get in trouble

with the minister.

They'll say that your father

has betrayed the church.

But the minister

has to come to his senses.

- Go up there and dance.

- I've never had time for that.

- And now I'm too old.

- Too old?

No, Sigrid.

Sigrid!

- I was waiting for you to come.
