lt's the photo of your little boy.
The one you tore up.

1:07:11
We must talk about it.
1:07:21
Tell me about it, Elisabet.
1:07:26
Then l will.
1:07:31
lt was one night at a party,
isn't that right?

1:07:34
lt got late and quite rowdy.
1:07:38
Towards morning
someone in the group said:

1:07:42
''Elisabet, you virtually have it all in
your armoury as a woman and artist.''

1:07:47
''But you lack motherliness.''
1:07:51
You laughed
because you thought it sounded silly.

1:07:55
But after a while you noticed
you thought about what he'd said.

1:07:59
You became more and more worried.
You let your husband impregnate you.

1:08:07
You wanted to be a mother.
1:08:11
When you realized it was definite,
you became frightened.

1:08:15
Frightened of responsibility, of being
tied down, of leaving the theatre.

1:08:22
Frightened of pain, of dying,
frightened of your body swelling up.

1:08:30
But you played the role. The role
of a happy, young, expectant mother.

1:08:37
Everyone said, ''lsn't she beautiful?
She's never been so beautiful.''

1:08:42
Meanwhile you tried to abort the foetus
several times.

1:08:46
But you failed.
1:08:50
When you saw it was irreversible...
1:08:54
...you started to hate the baby.
1:08:58
And you wished it would be stillborn.
