Peter and Asta are happily married and have a ten-year-old son Orn. They are expecting their second child when Peter discovers Orn isn’t his biological son. Peter confronts Asta and realizes she has kept this secret throughout their whole marriage. Peter is heartbroken and his first reaction is to walk out on his family.
Peter seeks solace with this young secretary, which quickly turns into a love affair. The affair forces Peter to realize his own imperfections. Is this new lifestyle what he really wants? Can he forgive Asta and resume the role of Orn's father? Peter's struggle impacts everyone around him. Realizing his love for Asta and how much he has hurt Orn, Peter is finally able to overcome his pride and reunite his family.
