A bucolic Swedish countryside setting is used by the great Sarno to present a delightful erotic-pornographic comedy, played by the accordion. In this film, a group of villagers (all played by amateur actors) spend Midsummer Day arguing about the authenticity of certain Viking legends, which imbue the local women with an unexpected lust thanks to the sound of an ancient horn. This is a period device that the most shameless woman in town uses to enervate the sexuality of every female, including a religious missionary, skeptical of the anecdotes and too pious to participate in certain games. But the truth is that the horn works, and they all end up becoming intimate with each other naturally, without prejudice or remorse.
New Yorker Joseph W. Sarno escapes to the Swedish landscape to film a very wholesome and fun story, which includes several explicit numbers (although a less hard-edged erotic version was also released), including an unexpected fisting by the more mature, but no less fiery, protagonist. You won't see models with sculpted bodies or stars of the adult film scene here, but precisely that circumstance, the nature of the Nordic curves, and the good narrative rhythm make "Fäbodjäntan" a film hard to forget.
