Häät

In the bustling old rectory, preparations for a wedding have turned the house into a whirlwind of stitching, cooking, and endless cleaning. Alfhild, just turned nineteen, finds herself thrust into the role of a bride while still feeling as inexperienced as a younger teenager. Meanwhile, her fiancé Sten—an aloof, somewhat reluctant suitor from Stockholm—wanders the kitchen, watches her every move, and insists on whisking her away for solitary walks in the woods, despite the constant chatter of the meddling aunt.

The tension between duty and desire ripples through the rooms, as Malla‑tied, the ever‑critical aunt, rails at every misstep and makes a habit of reminding Alfhild that she must not be left alone with Sten. Yet beneath the accusations and the cramped schedule, moments of quiet intimacy bloom when Sten finally allows Alfhild a glimpse of his softer side. Their tentative connection, set against the clamor of a community eager for celebration, hints at a love that may prove more resilient than either expected.
