About Release the Prisoners to Spring!
Small and short Frida lives with her long, tall friend in a house in the countryside. Frida rejects the idea that people who have committed crimes should be locked up. One day their own house is burgled by Harald. He is sentenced to prison. Acting in accordance with her philosophy, Frida decides to use all means possible to make it possible for Harald to escape.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1975.
