An isolated Swedish island with regular traditional life rhythms. Bergman evokes a kind of old-world idyll not only through relaxed and funny conversations with local eccentric people, but also through distinctly visually stylized (often colorful) moments from the life of the island. A rough landscape, sheep are born, sheep are slaughtered... It is apparent how fascinated the Swedish solitaire was by the pagan rhythm of existence. His protest against capitalism is somewhat docile and naive, but at its core extremely sincere and very understandable to our fellow citizens. To a certain extent, Bergman managed to generalize the arrival of market capitalism into the lives of ordinary people in the image of a small island. The director's conclusions may be amusing, but I really liked his first documentary about Fårö, both technically and in terms of content.
