| Comment | Tempted by a dubious investment offer, father and family man Poul Berg ends up so deep in debt and despair that he takes his own life. Ketty, his widow, struggles to keep the family afloat, pay off her husband’s debt and raise their three children. Those he has left behind are irredeemably marked by his suicide, which ends up costing more than just one human life. |
