Summary

Fourteen-year-old Erik and his friend Edmund spend their summer vacation in 1962 by a Swedish lake, daydreaming about Ewa, a young teacher who looks like actress Kim Novak. When Ewa's fiance is found dead, Erik's brother is initially the prime suspect. Twenty-five years later, when Erik happens to come across an article about unsolved crimes, he is overwhelmed by memories of that summer.
