A young man is visited by his father, they've never really talked things through - what they feel for each other. The son feels smothered and thinks that his father is and has been intruding on him for his whole life and when he tries to liberate himself from these chains the consequences becomes horrifying.

A family consisting of a mother, father and two sons seem helplessly tied to each other. In the shadow of the father's alcoholism they get to talk it out and they seem to lack any kind of contacts from the outside.

Four family members reunite after some time separated, a meeting which stirs up hate, anxiety, aggression and love.

Emma, a young author, goes to see Erik, the publishing editor whom she's sent her debut novel. Their meeting leads to a love affair. The middle-aged Erik leaves his wife. What Erik doesn't know is that Emma recently began a relationship with the dramatist Stefan, whose play is also being published by Erik's company. (imdb)
