When they discover that the child they are expecting is highly deformed and cannot live, the two parents agree to an abortion. Afterwards, the wife (
Monique Van de Ven) cannot stop talking about what to her is a tragedy, and is endlessly irritated at her husband's silence on the subject. She badgers him about it, and is beginning to have doubts about their marriage, which before had been a real love match. Eventually, the equally grieving man (Johan Leysen) has a breakdown, and his wife realizes that he has been suffering at lease as much as she has. This Dutch feature is based on the real-life experiences of its director, Rita Horst. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
