''Here's Your Life'' ((スウェーデン語:Här har du ditt liv)) is a 1966 Swedish drama film directed by Jan Troell, based on the second of Eyvind Johnson's semi-autobiographical series of four novels ''Romanen om Olof'', about a working-class boy growing up in northern Sweden. ==Plot synopsis== When the father of the young Olof Persson (Eddie Axberg) becomes ill, he starts taking jobs as a working class Swede. His first job is log driving, where he meets a man named August (Allan Edwall). August tells Olof about death, and a flashback tale with a woman chasing children is played. Olof finds a dead moth while working. He picks it up and pretends that it is alive, flying it through the air. After Olof’s father dies, Olof takes a job at a sawmill. The sawmill workers were sitting around telling stories about women, and then some of the workers harass Olof. Olof primarily works outside of the mill, transporting logs with a boy named Oskar. Oskar gets injured when a log falls on him, and he later dies in the hospital. After this incident, Olof asks for a higher position at the mill, but he is denied. He starts to read a lot of novels and books about philosophy. Later on, he speaks out against his boss and quits the sawmill job. Then, Olof takes a job at a cinema selling candy. He becomes interested in a girl named Maria (Signe Stade), who he later sees with another boy. He makes friends with a boy named Fredrik (Stig Törnblom). They talk about books and philosophy, and explore together. Olof visits home and his mother (Ulla Akselson) asks questions about the security of his new job. When Olof has an accident while selling candy, he asks for a new job. He starts working for a touring projectionist named Mr. Larsson (Åke Fridell). They travel to participate in the circus. Mr. Larsson introduces Olof to Olivia (Ulla Sjöblom), the “queen” of a travelling shooting gallery. Olof works for a blacksmith in between touring and the cinema. He meets Maja (Catti Edfeldt), the blacksmith’s daughter; they sleep together in the field. Afterward, she cries. Olof starts going to meetings concerning communism and its place working-class Sweden, and writing poetry. When he goes back to the cinema, Olof’s boss gets mad that he was handing out “socialist rags.” Olof quits. He goes back on tour and works for Olivia. They enter into a relationship. Olof continues visiting home and going to communist meetings. Later on, Olof starts working for the railroad company. He works with a man named Niklas (Per Oscarsson), and they have similar opinions about capitalism. Niklas shouts, “Damn capitalist rot!” They both proclaim their pro-socialist opinions to their boss, Byberg (Bengt Ekerot). They prank Byberg as well. Olof spares food for hobos on the train, and starts leading communist meetings. At a party, Olof gets very drunk, throws up, and falls down. Back with the circus, Olivia gives Olof a final speech of sorts about giving up and how hard life can be. A scene with a bird flying that was shown at the beginning, with characteristic music, is repeated. Olof goes back to his stepmother (Gudrun Brost) before travelling on. He finally buys a hat he had been admiring earlier in the film. In the final scene, Olof walks along railroad tracks in heavy snow, onto whatever is next. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Here's Your Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
