Realizing this is not his choice, he decides to forgo Camp and instead spend his vacation wondering throughout the city. Waxing philosophical on all of it would be difficult and many have already done it scholarly through writing and lectures.

The boy has a very special live-philosophy: Lust is what makes grownups crazy - and only children are sane.

In the end, the satisfaction of witnessing such a superb work (that really upped the ante for any other Swedish film after) is a ride of joy and hope.
