    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film was ruled ineligible for Oscar consideration because the longer mini-series version of it had already been telecast in Sweden.
    • Goofs
      In the breakup scene, Ep.3, when Johan and Marianne are both sitting in bed in their pajamas, having an argument, there is a cockroach crawling on the headboard behind Marianne - it first appears to her right, in the next shot it made its way to the top of headboard.
    • Quotes
      • Marianne: Sometimes it grieves me that I've never loved anyone. I don't think I've ever been loved either. That distresses me.
      • Johan: Now you're being dramatic.
      • Marianne: Am I?
      • Johan: I know what I feel. I love you in my selfish way. And I think you love me in your fussy, pestering way. We love each other in an earthly and imperfect way.
