The summer of '58, the year Sweden almost won the world championship in soccer over Brazil, Yngve Johansson accepts two children to live with him during the summer, as told through the eyes of a young boy. His name is Mårten, and the other child's name is Annika. She is a rough girl, with many problems. The three of them do not get along, and Yngve is a true dictator to the children's eyes. However, when the children discover that their new guardian has a crush on their teacher (Cecilia Nilsson), they do what they can to bring the two together. Soon enough, the three will discover that they have a lot more in common than they previously imagined, and together they can make their lives worth living again. This is a sweet story about life in Sweden in the mid 1900's. It is about family, love, hate, innocent friendship that we all can relate to, and much, much more...

A Summer Tale is a Swedish drama-comedy-romance film released in 2000 that follows two children, Mårten and Annika, sent to spend the summer of 1958 with a strict guardian named Yngve Johansson. When the kids discover Yngve's feelings for their teacher, they scheme to bring the two together, ultimately learning that family and connection matter more than their initial conflicts.
