Darkness in Sweden is darker than dark.
There should be a special name for that dark, its not just black. Its thick, viscous and heavy.
In comes June.
Waltzing in all its brightness.
Brightness of Swedish summer is no ordinary brightness.
There should be a special name for it too. Its light, fluffy and perfumed.
The longest day of the year folks. Wishing you all the positivity it is supposed to signify.
Following are three one minute trailers for you to get a peek.
Or you can watch the whole film. I suggest getting a pot of tea or a pitcher of fläder (elder flowers) lemonade. Set your timer to 25 minutes, and sit back. Its a meditative experience. Tracks Sweden’s moods from January to June.
Glad Midsommar! Happy Midsummer!
