Expecting mother Cecilia Ellius (Creator/IngridThulin) is carried into a maternity ward complaining of pain and bleeding. She wants the baby, but doubts that her husband Anders (Creator/ErlandJosephson) feels the same. Her condition worsens and she miscarries. She's placed in a room with Stina Andersson (Eva Dahlbeck) and Hjördis Petterson (Creator/BibiAndersson). Stina and her husband Harry (Creator/MaxVonSydow) eagerly await their child, while the younger Hjördis hates her pregnancy but hesitates at the thought of abortion. The three women bond.

* OpenMindedParents: NotWantingKidsIsWeird: The hospital counselor tries to make Hjördis think of what a ''gift'' her unwanted child is and to think of all the women who can't have one. She looks outright horrified when Hjördis tells her she thinks babies are disgusting.

* GenkiGirl: Stina is positively ''giddy'' when she hears her baby will be born soon. Nurse Brita even asks if she's high on meds.
* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: The previous time Hjördis was pregnant, her lover had her have an abortion. This time around, she wants no talk of that, although she attempted to induce a miscarriage, which is why she's in the ward in the first place. After her experiences with Cecilia and Stina, she ultimately decides to keep the baby.
* HappilyMarried: Stina and Harry clearly adore each other, contrasting Cecilia and Anders' troubled marriage and Hjördis' aloof jerk of a boyfriend.
