Orlanda is a nurse, living and working in Stockholm, who dabbles at hippyish ways and who has one close woman-friend, a suicidal artist. She has a love affair with a Swedish diplomat who has been temporarily posted at home. When he returns to South America on assignment, she comes to visit him. There, she discovers that he is really committed to living the stuffy, circumscribed life of a career diplomat, and she begins to lose interest in him. Instead, she begins an affair with a local Marxist revolutionary and gets involved with his group's activities.
