You back on the job?

I thought you'd quit.

A man's gotta have his cigs.

I can't stand those guys

pinching me all the time.

Why don't they pinch their wives?

- Not as much fun.

I'm fed up.

Come out with me.

I'll cheer you up.

Not likely. I've got other fish to fry.

I'm going steady.

You too?

All the floozies

are going off the market.

Even Pyret got engaged.

- The old man.

- Nilsson!

- It's Svensson.

Same difference.

I promised your boss

a bottle on my ration card.

He said you had money.

Hurry up before they close!

- Does it tally?

- Yes.

Pull out any bad ones you find.

I'll help you.

Let go! That's not funny.

Want to come out

to the country on Sunday?

I'm never going anywhere

with you again.

Knock it off!

Have it your way.

You can rot in here for all I care.

Here's the receipt.

Hasse, shouldn't you be in bed?

I'm busy.

How about a drop

before you go in?

Don't mind if I do.

That's the stuff!

- See ya.

- So long, boys.

What's gotten into you?

- Don't you remember?

- Can't say I do.

We met 25 years ago today.

Bless me,

I'd completely forgotten!

But you remembered.

That's right.

So I bought a cake and a bottle.

Fancy you buying a cake.

The kids will be so happy.

That's my girl.

My good old gal.

Ludde, really!

So much for the light.

Can't a person read in peace?

We'll light candles

and have Christmas all over again.

Not bad, eh?

Just like Christmas.

And I've got a bottle here.

Got any pickled cucumbers?

- In the cupboard.

Don't step on my new shoes!

Keep your things out of the way!

- You're drunk again!

- Of course he is.

I'll show you what drunk is,

you sassy little brat!

Don't start blubbering.

I just slipped.

But to hear my own daughter...

I won't be a burden

to you much longer!

Drink all you want!

I'm not staying here!

The girl's mad.

Stupid old fart!

What's wrong, Monika?

My old man's crazy.

- Don't cry. What did he do?

- He beats me.

- Beats you?

- I told you he's crazy.

Where have you been?

I called you at work.

Dad got sick.

He's in the hospital.

- Then I could stay with you.

- You'd better not.

My aunt does the cleaning.

She's in and out a lot.

I won't go back there!

I just can't!

- Maybe there's a way to...

- You have to fix things.

- Wait here.

- I'm coming too.

Wait in the entryway.

She's up there now.

What is it now?

I'm lending my sleeping bag

to a guy at work.

He's going camping for a week.

Before midsummer?

It's too cold.

But I promised.

Oh, well,

it's none of my business.

Strange parents, letting their children

go camping in the cold.

I'm off then.

Don't stay out too late.

You'll probably be gone

when I get back.

Don't bet on it.

Per Anders Fogelström

Per Anders Fogelström (22 August 1917, Stockholm – 20 June 1998) was a Swedish writer, and one of the leading figures in modern Swedish literature. He spent his whole life in Stockholm, and the most famous of the more than 40 books he wrote in total is a series of five novels set in the Swedish capital that he dearly loved, describing the lives of successive generations of Stockholmers between 1860 and 1968: Mina Drömmars stad (City of My Dreams), published in 1960, covers the period from 1860-1880. Barn av sin stad (Children of Their City), published in 1962, covers 1880-1900. Minns du den stad (Remember the City), published in 1964, covers 1900-1925. I en förvandlad stad (In a City Transformed), published in 1966, covers 1925-1945. Stad i världen (City in the World), published in 1968, covers 1945-1968.All five novels have been published in an English translation by Jennifer Brown Bäverstam. A film adaptation of City of My Dreams (Swedish: Mina drömmars stad) was released in 1976, directed by Ingvar Skogsberg, with narration from Fogelström. The 1950 film While the City Sleeps (Swedish: Medan staden sover) was adapted by Ingmar Bergman and director Lars-Eric Kjellgren from Fogelström's novel, and Bergman's taboo-breaking 1953 film Summer with Monika (Swedish: Sommaren med Monika) is based on Fogelström's 1951 novel of the same name. An active pacifist, Fogelström served as director of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society (Swedish: Svenska freds- och skiljedomsföreningen) from 1963 to 1977. He was also a member of the Swedish Vietnam Committee (Swedish: Svenska Vietnamkommittén), an organization opposing the Vietnam War, and a strong opponent of nuclear weapons. He received an honorary doctorate from Stockholm University in 1976, and was awarded the Swedish royal medal Litteris et Artibus in 1996. After his death, a bust of Fogelström was unveiled in Stockholm City Hall. more…
