        Overview

        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. With its sexual candour, the film caused some upset at Cannes, where it premiered, but received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
