Jan Malmsjö

A widowed actress and her children suffer hardships when she mistakenly marries a conservative church leader.

Mai Zetterling’s feature debut weaves together the lives of three women, each reflecting on their personal and sexual lives as they arrive at a maternity ward in the summer of 1914. Through flashbacks, fragments of their lives and loves are retold – incestuous love, masochistic love, lesbian love, destructive love. The film caused some upset at Cannes but received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

An ambitious husband tries to repair both his marriage and newly purchased home, but blundering crooks and greedy craftsmen disrupt his plans.
