The film is based on Håkan Nesser’s coming-of-age tale of the same name. It is summer, school is out, and we find ourselves in a lush, verdant Sweden at the dawn of the 1960s. Erik Wassman and Edmund Wester are both fourteen, classmates sharing the horizon of a season. This summer, they are sequestered in the Wassman family’s weathered old holiday home—a place called 'Genesaret.' It was likely Erik’s devout aunt who bestowed the name, and so, the neighboring lake is known as the 'Sea of Galilee.'

Film Review: Kim Novak Never Swam in Genesaret’s Lake Erik’s older brother, Henry, is tasked with keeping a watchful eye on the boys. Henry has taken leave from his journalism post at 'Kurren' to write a book; he feels there are things inside him that 'must finally be let out.' The teenagers thrive in this newfound freedom, christening it 'The Peak Summer.'

But there is a reason they are tucked away in Genesaret. Erik’s mother, Ellen, lies gravely ill in a hospital bed, and Edmund’s mother is battling the demons of alcoholism in rehab. The boys, lost in fantasies of their substitute teacher, Ewa Kaludis, believe she is a mirror image of Kim Novak herself. When Henry and Ewa fall in love, the boys become voyeurs to their passion through the uncurtained windows of the ground floor. It is a summer of heat—of midnight swims to cool the blood—until the season turns toward its dark, inevitable point.

An excellent script and direction, beautiful cinematography, and an exquisite cast that brings every role to life.

Filmen är baserad på Håkan Nessers ungdomsskildring med samma namn. Det är sommar och skollov i ett ljuvligt grönskande Sverige i början av 1960-talet. Erik Wassman och Edmund Wester är båda fjorton år och går i samma klass. Denna sommar ska de vara tillsammans i familjen Wassmans gamla skamfilade semesterhus, som heter Genesaret. Det är förmodligen Eriks delägande, religiösa moster som givit huset det namnet. Intilliggande sjö kallas därför "Genesarets sjö". Eriks storebror Henry ska hålla ett vakande öga över fjortonåringarna. Henry har tagit ledigt från sitt journalistjobb på "Kurren", för att skriva en bok. Han känner att vissa saker "måste få komma ur honom". Fjortonåringarna stormtrivs med den fria tillvaron och kallar sommaren för "höjdarsommaren"!

Anledningen till att Erik, Edmund och Henry bor i Genesaret är att mamma Ellen Wassman ligger på sjukhus och är svårt sjuk och att Edmunds mamma är på avgiftning från sin alkoholism. Pojkarna, som fantiserar om sin tidigare... innan sommarlovet... vikarierande lärarinna Ewa Kaludis, tycker att hon liknar Kim Novak! När så Henry och Ewa blir kära och ligger med varandra, smygtittar pojkarna genom bottenvåningens fönster, som inte har några gardiner. Erik och Edmund blir så upphetsade, att de måste ta ett svalkande bad mitt i natten. Det är höjdarsommaren... som sedan vänder och går mot sin mörka punkt!

Utmärkt manus och regi, vackert foto och njutbart skådespel med välbesatta roller.

Stop missing out on the biggest metabolic advantage of Extra Virgin Olive Oil! If you use EVOO for weight management and satiety, you must understand the science of timing. This video reveals the single best time, backed by GLP-1 research, to consume raw EVOO to maximize appetite control and optimize your blood sugar response.

👉 THE NIGHTTIME PROTOCOL: Maximize your EVOO benefits around the clock! The Metabolic Mechanism: Why Timing Matters

For those interested in the deep science behind this timing protocol, the goal is not simply calorie counting, but hormonal optimization for spontaneous appetite control.

Consuming Extra Virgin Olive Oil 15-20 minutes pre-meal triggers the powerful release of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) from the gut. This hormone accomplishes two crucial tasks: Increased Satiety: GLP-1 signals fullness to the brain earlier, resulting in spontaneous lower total calorie consumption during the main meal—a key strategy for weight management. Blood Sugar Control: GLP-1 also slows gastric emptying, which delays the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This leads to a smoother, better blood sugar

response over the following two hours. This timing protocol is designed to use EVOO as a metabolic pre-load for maximum weight and blood sugar control..

🚨 THE SCIENCE HAS CHANGED! Your deepest health belief about alcohol is being challenged. We analyze the comprehensive data from The Lancet that demolishes the old "J-Curve" myth and confirms that zero alcohol consumption minimizes health risk.

We explore the difficult question: Is the minor risk from an occasional "skol" worth the major, validated benefit of social inclusion and connection? This is the final, nuanced guide to making your informed choice.

I explain: Why I personally stopped almost all drinking after seeing this data.

The Lancet (GBD Study) and theHopkins Medicine article explaining the J-curve and the "abstainer bias" are linked below.

You don't need to chase 10,000 steps! This video exposes the number's origins (a 1960s marketing slogan) and reveals what modern science actually says.

We break down a 2023 meta-analysis of over 227,000 people that found significant health benefits starting at just 2500 steps. The real secret is consistency, not perfection!
