This movie by Sven Nyqvist has a line-up of the best Scandinavian actors - Stellan Skarsgaard, Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullman. The movie starts with "a murder" of an ox, which becomes a turning point in the life of the protagonist - played by Skaarsgard, and his family.

Its funny how the remote rural areas in the globe has the same value systems, the same attitude and the same set of characters, whether it is the Nordic north or a remote village in rural Brazil. It is an interesting movie, a learning experience.
