Synopsis

Siv Holm is the wife of a cultured antique dealer named Hans who is so obsessed with his acquisitions that he cannot bring himself to sell any of them. Unable to pay the household bills, Siv seeks the help of her mother-in-law, but the older woman refuses to intercede in her son's affairs. One of Hans' other interests is photographing his wife in the nude and then, unknown to Siv, selling the pictures to Svendsen, one of his wealthy customers. One day, the voyeuristic Hans invites Svendsen to his home and informs him that, for a price, he can make love to the beautiful Siv. Following dinner, Hans sips brandy as Svendsen begins to embrace Siv passionately. Sensing that her husband is enjoying the scene, Siv gives herself to Svendsen as the bemused Hans watches. Degraded by the evening, Siv denies herself to her husband and resumes both her hospital nursing career and a former affair with a surgeon. A young woman who attempted suicide is brought to the hospital. As the woman talks about a former husband who drove her into a life of prostitution, Siv realizes that the man the woman is talking about is Hans. When Siv repeats the story to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Holm admits that her son is a monster, and she gives Siv a gun with which to kill him. Instead, Siv opens a locked chest that Hans keeps in an apartment and discovers that her husband is an unregenerate ex-Nazi. After waiting for Hans to return, Siv confronts him with what she has learned, tells him how much she loathes him, and walks out on him.
