Танец медленно берет верх, формируя образец, который никто из персонажей не видит - все они связаны. Дождь поражает их всех.
The twelve-year-old Carmen has to stay at home during the summer while most other people are on holiday. She plays with the the younger children Anders and Kerstin. Twenty-year-old Bengt-Olof is a little bit retarded and has no other friends of his own age. Therefore he frightens and mobs the children in the neighbourhood who first try to flee him. But after some days they plan their revenge...
Modern adaptation of the classic operatic drama, with a few twists. Micaela, José's Mother, and Mörd (Death) are played by the same dancer. The action is reduced to a single act in 13 scenes. The love scenes are played to a minimum and the working women's fight is adjourned to the last scene [and cut from some DVD editions] that concentrates all the pathos announced throughout by the eerie music.
