Geschichte
Marilyn Jordan, an American expat living in Stockholm with her Swedish husband and family, exhibits bizarre behavior, such as poisoning the dog's milk and setting fire to the sheets while her husband sleeps. While detained at the airport for carrying pruning shears, Marilyn meets a young Yugoslav woman who takes her to Montenegro, a Gypsy enclave where she becomes involved in the local culture. She is fought over by the men there, takes a lover, assists with entertainment at a bar, and returns home more erratic than before. Parallel to this, Marilyn's daughter begins to explore her own independence.
