Having neglected her children for years, celebrated Swedish concert pianist Charlotte visits her daughter Eva. She is shocked to find that her other, emotionally unstable, daughter Helena is also present. The tension between the three women mounts until all the suppressed emotion comes bursting through the surface during a night-time discussion.
