- In the servants' underground quarters of a deserted mansion a mother lives with her older middle-aged and her younger daughter. The elder daughter has had an abortion and claims not to want a man. In the beginning the younger daughter shows no other noticeable behaviour than wishing to be a modern town girl. She cuts all hair of her legs but has wounds from unskilled use of the razor. One day two young couples come to the mansion and prepare a feast. Before the feast the younger daughter tries on some luxury cloths but happens to break a pair of shoes but still shows up at the feast. Someone gives her a glass of wine; her first experience of alcohol so she almost vomits and runs away. Her mother and elder sister tie her hands and feet to the bed. The girl whose shoes were broken (one of the two couples) searches for unknown people in the house and finds the younger daughter tied up. While she tries to liberate her, the mother and elder daughter take her as a prisoner. Her friends think that she had left in order to abandon her boyfriend. The elder daughter is a very skilled embroiderist but is very underpaid by a shopkeeper. The girl prisoner helps her to find someone who will pay much more. And friendship develops between the younger daughter and the entrapped girl. But several disasters eventually happen for all four women.—Max Scharnberg, Stockholm, Sweden
