Synopsis

In the late nineteenth century Johannes, a Stockholm boy is left by his middle-class parents and brought up in the countryside where he struggles to settle in. The unrelenting hostility is only softened by the kind Charlotta. When he is twenty he returns to the capital city and enlists in the Royal Guards and meets up with Charlotta again.
