When Lillemor is 19 years old she goes to France. She falls in love and becomes HIV infected. This is in 1986. Lillemor represses the fact that she has a lethal infection. She gets married and has children. She doesn't tell her husband that she has HIV. One day he finds out. Tabloid press and TV-channels refer to her as the 'HIV-woman'. Lillemor loses her husband, children and freedom. She is convicted for 2,5 years in prison having had unprotected sex with her husband and for having gone through pregnancy and given birth to two children without first informing medical staff about her disease. Neither her ex-husband nor their children, now 7 and 8 years old, have contracted HIV. The director Ingela Lekfalk has followed Lillemor from the day the sentence was given, during the time in prison, till the first month of freedom.
