Synopsis
Leander, a young music student, discovers that his awakening sexual desires are disturbing his ability to concentrate. After an embarrassing failure with a prostitute, Leander leaves Switzerland to spend the summer with his widowed mother in Sweden and, returning home, discovers that his relationship with his sister Mae is jeopardized by their mutual desire for each other. Aino, the Finnish maid, provides Leander with sexual fulfillment, but she soon rejects him for a young fisherman. Becoming increasingly uncertain of himself, Leander meets three young women vacationing nearby. The candid aggressiveness and gaiety of Gerda, Susanne, and Lola change Leander's outlook on life, and during the following days he makes love with each of them. Mae becomes jealous of the girls, and when Leander discovers that she is only his half-sister, he makes love to her also. At the summer's end, Leander asks Susanne to stay with him; her answer is mysterious to everyone but Leander, to whom she gives a private token of her affection.
