This is mainly a boys adventure, but it also features the misadventures in love of Rasmus's highschool sister Patricia. (Played by a 20-something actress.) She has the nickname "Pricken", which may inspire unintentional giggles in some English-speaking audiences. So I translated her nickname as "Dot" in the subtitles. The cheekiness of the preteens and the lovelorn silliness of the teens is quite funny. If Astrid Lindgren had not found that gig authoring children's stories, she could have been a good screwball comedy scriptwriter instead.
English subtitles (my translation) in both standard white and also a yellow option, as it is a black-and-white film and yellow shows up better. The yellow works in VLC but may not play properly in other players.

Oh wow thanks Night! I remember seeing this one pop up while search for the many other Lingren related movies and shows. This looks like a quality encode! And thank for the work on translating not just any subtitles, but yellow subtitles! My fave color for subs!

From the codecs it looks like this is a 1:1 copy from a DVD-5, which would be why it is rather large for a DVDrip: no recoding, just encapsulated in an MKV. Whenever I rip a DVD myself that is all I ever do anymore anyway. I just take up drive space rather than wasted computer processing time. (Now if I was able to rip a blu-ray, I think I would make that smaller.)

Oh wow, if you had ANY idea how difficult it was to translate regular white Swedish subs to yellow subs in ANY language ... PHEW!!
Spoiler:
SubtitleEdit, cursor in text area, CTRL-A, right-click, "Color...", Choose color, "OK", File, "Save as..."
Easy-peasy. Once you get SubtitleEdit reinstalled. There is probably a way to set VLC to change the display color of subtitles, but I did not look into that. Too much work going through Preferences menus.
My favorite sub color is BLOOD RED!!! Mwaaah haaaah haaah haaa haaa!!!!
But then you have to change it back if you actually do not want that color for everything. I like to have subtitles that are coded to display exactly right for that movie.
It's just too bad my blu-ray player either ignores or displays the encoding itself for any font changes. No bold, italic, color, positioning ... nuthin'.
