Synopsis

Summer, 1985. When a teenage boy is found drowned near the mythical island of Svärtan, a group of friends seeking adventure uncover an ancient and inexplicable creature they were never meant to find. As they hide this creature, jealousy and grief fracture their bonds, and legend turns into something far more dangerous.

 

Note from the artistic direction

Teenage friendships confronted with differences and the supernatural, over the course of a summer, in a magnificent Sweden where the days seem endless. Few series today manage to bring several generations together in front of the same screen. Summer of 1985 is one of them.
