The best intentions
This is the complex love story lived by Henrik Bergman, a young theology student, and Ånna Akerblom, the only daughter of an upsala family. Of course we have already recognized them: it is the parents of Ingmar Bergman. The story of Henrik and Anna begins in 1909, during the big strike, and ends ten years later, when the young student has already become a pastor, and his wife - a world full of light and tiniebla - is waiting for his second child.

In the last lines of this work Delibes said goodbye to his inseparable, for so many years, red perdiz: "The last point has fulfilled his mission and I find myself in the face of that brave red patirred hillside that so many satisfaction has made me stop during sixty years of cynical exercise.".
