Mixing social critique with a coming of age tale, Bergman's debut as a scriptwriter is a wonderful thriller-drama with excellent direction by Sjöberg. Highly recommended.

Suverän rulle med ett tidlöst tema om makt och övergrepp inom skolväsendet. Stram, spännande och drabbande ända upp i våra dagar!

When Jan-Erik falls in love with a troubled woman named Bertha Olsson, Caligula's jealousy and cruelty reach new heights. As Bertha becomes the target of Caligula's wrath, Jan-Erik must confront the dark truth about his mentor and the tragic fate that unfolds.
