After marrying his lovely librarian girlfriend Kirsten (Kirsten Olesen), Jens (Claus Strandberg) and she enjoy a brief, idyllic honeymoon, but soon she drifts into a deep depression and attempts suicide. She moves back into her parents' house and lurks there out of sight. Jens, a good-natured, shy and steady fellow, is bewildered at this turn of events and cannot make head nor tail of it. At least he has a friend he can turn to for some solace, Bjarne (Jens Okking), his older coworker. They go drinking together sometimes and he tries to figure this situation out. It finally comes to him that perhaps she cannot bear the fact of marriage itself, and he offers his dear Kirsten her freedom.
