Sweden, Experimental, 1945, 12′

This film by Gosta Werner has been called one of the very few Swedish short films deserving to be labelled a classic. It is a suggestive and visionary portrayal of a human sacrifice in the Bronze Age. The sacrifice, wich takes place on a dark and snowy night, is undertaken to ensure the return of sun and warmth.
