Plot

We follow two generations in late 1960s Stockholm. On one hand, there are the teenagers Pär and Annika — how they meet by chance, seek a connection, and tentatively begin a romance. Their youthful happiness stands in contrast to the sense of aimlessness felt by the parental generation. Annika’s parents, in particular, are disappointed with how their lives turned out, despite their material prosperity. During a traditional Swedish crayfish party, alcohol loosens the adults' inhibitions, and the evening takes a turn none of them could have foreseen.
