- Synopsis
- The landholder Såmal pays the tenant farmer Esmar and his pregnant wife Johannaa
  menacing visit. Esmar’s lease will expire in the fall according to the local laws. And if Esmar has no
  son, Såmal can give house and land to whomever he wishes. Unfortunately, Johanna finally does give
  birth to their third daughter. Livia, a Swedish good friend and innkeeper, tells Johanna that evidently
  the only way they can hope to have a son is for another man to make Johanna pregnant. This
  suggestion makes Esmar feel hurt but they are both aware that they have no other choice. They ask for
  Livia’s assistance in finding a suitable man. But to Livia, the situation suddenly becomes very
  personal: Their final choice is a French Captain who is Livia’s lover. The French Captain receives
  Esmar’s and Johanna’s request with empathy, and he agrees to help them by making Johanna
  pregnant. No one foresees the consequences.
