Plot[edit]

This film is set in 1943 Malmö, when the rest of Europe was embroiled in World War II. It deals with the attraction of a 15-year-old boy Stig to his 37-year old teacher Viola. The film revolves at first around the sexual encounters between Stig and Viola; then, as the plot develops, Stig forms a close friendship with Viola's husband Frank, a hard-drinking salesman who is quite aware of what is going on with his wife but does nothing to prevent it.

Meanwhile, Stig's virgin neighbor and schoolmate Lisbet is secretly in love with him. During an outdoor party held outside his house, she says she wants to show something and directs him to his room. As they enter, she locks the room and asks him to close his eyes. She then strips down before him to seduce him into having sex with her. She shows him a hidden condom under the pillow and rag under the bed to soak up any blood since it would be her first time having sex. He doesn't reciprocate her advances and humiliated, she quickly dresses and leaves the room before Stig can explain.

The next day at school, Stig hides in a vault box for sports equipment after Lisbet's gymnastics class. He catapults a note towards her with a message for her to approach the box. After reading the note Lisbet encourages her friend to go to the restroom and while she is away, Lisbet joins Stig in the vault. Her friend later leaves the room alone, while Stig and Lisbet get laid inside the vault. Suddenly, the next class uses the vault, entrapping them until the end of that class. As they get out from the vault after that class, it is revealed that they are dating. Stig breaks Viola up, igniting her rage before the class.

During a movie class event, Lisbet finds Stig in the janitor room having sex with Viola. Stig tries to explain but Lisbet is really mad at him that she breaks up the relationship and tells him that she does not want to see him again.

Eventually, Viola descends into drink, like her husband. After threatening Stig with a broken bottle, their relationship ends. Stig is broken that he loses both his sexual relationship, and his brother, who dies while in military service. Viola decides to fail Stig by making him repeat his third year. On rapport day, Stig denounces Viola by showing his genitals and not taking his rapport. Moreover, he manages to steal Viola's set of dictionaries.
