the Vietnam war. American deserters. Free love. Men in mysoveraller. Hash intoxication. Of illegal abortions. Layoffs in the textile industry. ”Cries of barking, day-care centres for all”… this Year’s big Swedish helgserie is full of symbolic ‘ time markers.
When it starts to dope the against jul become the SVT like a little extra feminist and bet obviously keen on women’s history, which of course is welcome. ”Sisters in 1968” – written by help Martina Bigert and Maria Thulin, who did the ”Gynaecologist in Askim” – can be seen as a little more whimsical variation of the sekelskiftesskildringen ”Miss Frimans war” if the liberal kvinnorättskämpar that aired almost four christmases in a row from 2013.
