The film was shot in Spain, supposedly reminiscent of the Argentinean landscape where the film was set.
Directed by Stig Bjorkman, the film surrounded the character of Orlanda, played by Swedish actress Lena Numan, a student nurse at the University of Stockholm who meets Anders (Tomas Ponten), a Swedish Diplomat in Argentina and falls in love with him.
Orlanda then travels to Argentina several weeks later to see him, not realising that he has a wife (Frida). The film, written by Sun Axelsson and produced by Anna-Lena Wibom, also starred Norman Briski, Ernst Guenther, Claire Wikholm and Toni Valente.
The music in the film, written by Violeta Parra was a Swedish version of 'Gracias, La Vida' called 'Jag Vill Tacka Livet' (I Want To Thank Life). Its Swedish lyrics were written by a certain Brita Ähman.
The film was shown on Swedish TV on TV1 30 September 1982 and again in 1999.
Frida!
