The title characters are children in the exuberant and colorful household in a Swedish town early last century.

I just watched this again on Turner Classic Movies. And once more more I was impressed by Bertil Guve. A mature and nuanced performance. His intensity was laser sharp.

There are film clips of Bergman directing Bertil in a number of scenes that are wonderful to watch. One of them is at: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31rlic

A great film but I think the miniseries is much better, since it isn't as condensed (more scenes especially between the boy and his stepfather and some of it was rather interesting).

In my view Ingmar Bergman's greatest films, which means some of the greatest films ever made, are the medieval dramas The Seventh Seal and The Virgin Spring; the 'Silence of God trilogy': Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light and The Silence; Wild Strawberries; and this one.
