It's Saturday night at an old Hospital in Helsingborg. Karin Bellman is a bit forgetful and has been admitted with an injury to her arm. Her husband is by her side and introduces himself as doctor in theology but in the weekend stress he is mistaken for a doctor in the hospital and is put to work.
During August 1943 the Nazis advance is stopped. In Sweden there are both German Gestapo agents and Norwegian Resistance men active.
