Plot
The architect Einar Wang (Carsten Winger) has been married to his adoring wife Else (Eva Bergh) for some years. The marriage has been happy, but one thing has cast a shadow over their life together: they have not had a child. Eventually, they decide to have a child. However, it turns out that it is not so simple. Shadows from Einar's past lie in wait. When he was quite young, he had an affair with a young girl, whom he sincerely loved. The girl became pregnant, and they agreed to have an abortion. Then she died because of the procedure. This has tormented Einar all these years, and at times he has felt like a murderer. He is eventually driven into a severe depression. Then one day the depression turns into mental illness, and he is admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
