Overview

Sune, a dropped out theology student who also is the son of a priest, meets Viveka in a church. The two connect via a theological discussion and eventually get married. As the years pass, Viveka grows more and more emotionally unstable due to jealousy and religious anxiety. Sune accepts Viveka's mental problems and, instead of seeking help for his wife, obeys her increasingly bizarre commands.

00:05:07 But after a while, they always found someone better.

00:07:21 He asked me why. It was Grandmother's.

00:09:46 Do you want to see?

00:14:03 She always used to do that. You had to sing to someone hiding in bed.

00:16:07 Put away those flowers! I can't talk to you when you stand like that.

00:18:17 I just knew that I had to kill him before he started shouting about nice children.

00:20:27 Don't you understand it's not about money?

00:23:57 Maybe it's true that I love that laurel more than you.

00:26:49 Bye.

00:29:39 I heard that they were lying. There's nothing wrong with my hearing.

00:31:51 What about Sune? Something nice after dinner...

00:33:36 -Did he say anything about himself? -No. He never does.

00:39:58 They won't dare take me as long as you believe in me.

00:43:01 I mustn't help you. That's not allowed.

00:48:00 We haven't eaten in two days. It's not feasible.

00:51:36 He mustn't!

00:56:31 -I must have lost them. -Move aside.

00:58:48 -Can I stay here tonight? -You need to go home and rest.

01:01:07 ..but when I understood and adapted to her wishes, she was much better.

01:04:03 But he loves you.

01:05:59 Father and Mother hated me. I fought to get out of the darkness

01:08:42 Yes, just stare. I know the routine.

01:16:31 -How did you get in? -No one saw me.
