Raven's End
Directed by Bo Widerberg
Produced by Europa Film
A melancholic portrait of a young man's struggle against the constraints of poverty and circumstance in 1930s Sweden, where artistic ambition collides with the weight of adult responsibility.
In 1936, aspiring writer Anders, along with his friend Sixten, is desperate to escape his working-class upbringing. Anders' father is an unemployed alcoholic and his mother slaves away at a laundry to support the family. A ray of hope comes Anders' way when he finishes his first novel and submits it to a publisher. But after his girlfriend gets pregnant, his future dims before his eyes once more.
