В далекие и свободные семидесятые, когда на улице бушевала сексуальная революция, жила-была самая «обычная» шведская семья. Жили вместе, дружно, под крышей маленького домика, как и положено настоящим хиппи, разделяя все горести и радости.

Во фривольную, бунтарскую, «семейную» атмосферу вторгается женщина из «нормального» мира. Вот тут-то, все и начинается…
