Drama of great intensity by Astrid Henning-Jensen about the young woman Line, who discovers that she suffers from cancer. Her life with husband and two children has otherwise been busy and career-oriented, now everyday life changes radically and other values in life appear in the middle of the tragedy. Astrid Henning-Jensen has this time written the poignant story herself, which is both an invitation to face life and its transience and to revise it in between. She handles the big, serious subject with sensitive elegance and avoids the pathos that can hide in the accident.
