Director Gustaf Edgren gave Mai Zetterling the lead role in this rural drama, which became one of the biggest Swedish box-office successes of the postwar period. A star-crossed romance, set in rugged, nineteenth-century northern Sweden, revolves around a wealthy farmer’s daughter (Zetterling), who falls for a penniless fiddler (Alf Kjellin, her costar in Torment), despite her father’s virulent objections. Featuring some location shooting around Hälsingland, Sunshine Follows Rain helped establish Zetterling as a major star.
