1969. In Copenhagen we meet one of the most acclaimed female authors, Tove Ditlevsen, and her husband, the sadistic news editor Victor Andreasen. Tove’s talent is indisputable, known for giving a voice to suppressed women. Only her husband’s destructive envy surpasses it. Coming for lunch is the promising young author Klaus Rifbjerg, who celebrates the modern woman. Klaus expects an afternoon of literature, what he doesn’t know is that a blood bath awaits him.
