A community center has been built in town for single working women. The massive skyscraper-brick building is called "Women's House". There Isa lives, separated and frozen in his emotional life, and the hostess Ameli, the collective self-proclaimed messenger. The subject of the day is the young theater life Eva Lind, who is in the process of moving in. Most tenants know that she is the cartoonist Tryggve Krook's mistress, one of many over the years. Krook has acquired her apartment in the house, where his wife Anna likewise lives. Anna has for a long time accepted that Tryggve lives his own life and walks as he wishes. The comrades in the house have difficulty in understanding her tolerance, her accused indifference to the man's movements. Isa lives by spotting in short. Ameli is greeting for buying a star; She wants to know if her dwarf stabbing has become pregnant after insemination. The star is, however, affected by Annas humiliation. The card speaks of evil dead death, for the "heart king" and for a young girl. Tryggve will visit the Eve for the first night with a view to staying with Eva. She rushes down to receive him, but accidentally embraces the gatekeeper's ugly and retarded daughter Rosa, who assumes that there is something called love in the world of others, beautiful and talented. The lonely women seek different solutions to their hunger for tenderness and fellowship. Sylvia, the hated fashionista, the happy, busy and reality-fitting never long for any missing cavalry. Be comforting with godliness. Anna lets herself be swallowed up by her victim's role.
