I found the protagonists as a representation of pure evil. The plot unhuman and deeply disturbing. I really cannot bring myself to relate with these people. I wish that I had never seen the movie. Spoilers ahead A grieving mother falls in love with another man. Then she also becomes pregnant with his child. The man has lied about his true identity. He is the one who killed her child. Nevertheless she forgives him, betrays her husbant and in the end they live happily ever after.

Very interesting storyline which makes this an intriguing and sensitive film. Strong cast with excellent performances by all four of the main characters with direction and script to match. I found the whole production very moving.

Glad I saw it and will watch again.

Films with intrigues related to death and passion usually enable character actors/actresses to show their talent in full - even if the plot leaves to be desired. This is also the case here, with Stockholm Östra, where Mikael Persbrandt and Iben Hjejle, above all, give convincing and profound performances. The script, however, has questionable moments, even when considering the events happening in modern world with Internet and yellow press included; behaviours of characters are logical, but expected, paving the way for trivial ending. General mood is oppressive and hectic, thus the film is not for everyone, but those fond of Persbrandt and Hjejle do not feel disappointed, although their roles here are not among the best ones.
