Description:
Set in the 1930s, museum curator Tauno Saarinen becomes infatuated with a young maid and pours his feelings into a detailed confession for his wife, Elisabet. Elisabet shares the letter with Tauno's sister, Naimi, an art critic who is attempting to reconcile with her ex-husband while navigating a difficult relationship with her mother-in-law. As Tauno and Elisabet's marriage deteriorates, the young maid becomes pregnant after being seduced by Tauno. This film is based on a novel by Helvi Hämäläinen, originally published in 1941 but partially censored until 1995 due to alleged connections to real people.
