This older swedish movie (in English "Ronia, the Robber's Daughter") is mainly about young (est. 10y/o) girl, daughter of local robber. It´s a pity that the main character is a girl and not a boy, but luckily she has a friend. A boy friend of the same age, little bit chubby and generaly not the cute of the year.
Ronia has some problems with her father and leaves a home; a boy (I forgot his name!) is often going to the wilderness to meet her. So once (it is summer, but I´m not sure you know, what swedish sumer could mean :) they strip themselves and run into the cold river. There are mainly shots of theirs backs and bottoms, but there is also one freeze frame frontal shot (both boy and girl) when kids are runnig towards camera. Unfortunately it is taken against the sun (I think), so the picture is everythink else than sharp and bright. But it is frontal.
Globally it is an ordinary kid´s movie with swedish element (skinny-dipping scene).
Enjoy!
