Mai Zetterling makes her feature film debut with a formally daring pregnancy drama inspired by Agnes von Krusenstjerna's controversial novel cycle about the von Pahlen sisters.

Angela, Adèle, and Agda meet at a maternity ward in the summer of 1914. They are all pregnant, but their paths to this point and their futures ahead are radically different. Through flashbacks, fragments of their lives and loves are retold - incestuous love, masochistic love, lesbian love, destructive love. Featuring some of the greatest Swedish film stars of the 1960s - Harriet Andersson, Gunnel Lindblom, Gio Petré, Gunnar Björnstrand, Eva Dahlbeck, and Jan Malmsjö - Zetterling’s ensemble shines in one of the most fascinating adaptations in Swedish film history.
