Anita: Swedish Nymphet^[1] (Swedish: Anita – ur en tonårsflickas dagbok, lit. 'From the Diary of a Teenage Girl'; French: Les Impures) is a 1973 erotic drama film written and directed by Torgny Wickman, starring Christina Lindberg, Stellan Skarsgård, Per Mattsson, Ewert Granholm and Arne Ragneborn.

Plot

This erotic tale centers on the alluring Anita, whose search for love leads to an empty life of nymphomania. Anita's self-destructive path takes a new turn when she meets college student Erik, who tries to help her overcome her addiction. Erik plays the role of counselor as Anita slowly reveals her troubled past, but will his prescription of ultimate ecstasy really cure her?
