Lust och fägring stor

All Things Fair is a tale of forbidden love between Stig and his school teacher, Viola, who is 25 years his senior. There is a world war going on beyond Sweden's borders, but for Stig and his pubescent classmates the main subject of conversation is sex. Stig's relationship with Viola means that he is the first to taste the forbidden fruit, the first to find himself in the fast lane on the way to the adult world. Viola is married to Frank, a travelling salesman with a drinking problem who deals in lace lingerie and stockings. He is fond of his wife, but is occasionally unfaithful to her. In his own way, Frank also becomes fond of Stig. Once he discovers that his wife has a sexual relationship with her pupil, it is perhaps his awareness of his own history of infidelity that prevents him from objecting to what is going on.
