Summer with Monika

Harry Lund, 19 years old, works at a stock-room for glass and porcelain. In the vicinity works 17-year-old Monika at a stock-room for vegetables. Monika is a cheerful and happy young woman and when she sees Harry at a café she starts to speak with him. They fall in love with each other. Because of their age, they are both harassed at their respective places of work. Monika has an argument with her father and leaves her home; Harry has an argument with his boss and quits. Since they have nothing that ties them to the city, they take Harry's small boat to the archipelago to be alone for a few weeks.
