    Following the life of a waitress

    This is a very decent movie, following the life of a waitress during the second world war in neutral Sweden. It's pretty cool to see how things went in Sweden in that time. I know this isn't a documentary, but still... Don't expect lots of action and suspense, but everyday struggles between a country girl and a city boy. Great acting and a good story...
