Based in 1968 Sweden, Sören Mårtensson (Per Oscarsson) is a strict and temperamental teacher charged with educating some of Stockholm´s most bizarre and troubled students, and has a secret that is slowly driving him insane. As this outstandning Swedish film progresses, we see Sören slowly start to loose his mind as his secret becomes known. While at a swim meet, fellow teachers notice his stares in the locker room and it becomes apparent that Sören is attracted to his young male students. Sören then finds himself in a subtle psychological battle with the students that may lead him to a place he´s only seen i his nightmares. 

Several prizes at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1968, including the Golden Berlin Bear.
