Hemsöborna

Carlsson arrives at the widow Flod's farm in the Stockholm archipelago to help in the running of it. He is met with resistance by the widow's jealous son Gusten who is more interested in fishing than farming. When it is decided to hire out some houses for summer guests from the city the equilibrium is disturbed.

Directed by Bengt Lagerkvist, Hemsöborna leans on a strong ensemble — Allan Edwall, Sif Ruud, Sven Wollter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1966.
