Lena was married to Hannes for the first time, who brutally beat and mistreated her. After a painful separation, she is now married to the sensible, good-natured and down-to-earth fishmonger Alf. Hannes is released from prison after anti-violence therapy and now has to live with the stressful certainty of how much he harmed his ex-wife and what humiliations she suffered from him. He decides to stay away from her. But a chance meeting of the two leads to Lena falling in love with Hannes again. Although she knows the damage she's doing, she acts against her own sanity and the advice of her friends and meets again with the man who has caused her so much suffering in the past. Her husband Alf has to watch helplessly as he loses the love of his life.
criticism
“Sensitively staged drama that addresses the dark side of love, dependencies in relationships that are shaped by violence. Outstanding actors put the haunting book credibly and make the confusion of emotions of all those involved understandable. "
"The Swedish director Åke Sandgren shot this strongly staged relationship story with consistently good-natured actors."
