In her everyday life as a working, single mother, the young woman Ella only slowly comes to understand how far the compensation for her difficult childhood actually went and how deep into the unconscious she must penetrate in the process. In the process of overcoming and healing herself, she discovers her identity all over again. At a time when marriage for women can mean breaking out of the strict corset of the parental home, Bertha and Matti try to go their own individual way between great love, female independence and life as wife and mother.
