Summary
In the suffocating parlors of Copenhagen's elite, Supreme Court Attorney Carl Crone (Carl Alstrup) confronts an existential catastrophe when his meticulously curated bourgeois existence fractures. His porcelain-doll wife Inger (Astrid Krygell), once the obedient centerpiece of his gilded domestic diorama, metamorphoses into a radicalized feminist after encountering the Women's Liberation movement. As Inger discards lace doilies for protest pamphlets and exchanges subservience for incendiary political salons within their Rococo drawing room, Crone's patriarchal certainties disintegrate. The attorney's initial condescension curdles into volcanic jealousy when activist Stella Lind becomes Inger's ideological muse, exposing the fragile scaffolding upholding his marriage, career, and societal standing. Crone descends into a self-destructive spiral of surveillance and emotional sabotage, deploying legal cunning against his wife's awakening while bourgeois acquaintances Olga Svendsen and Maggi Zinn amplify the scandal.
