Celebrating at a dinner party with another ideal couple, their friends Katerina (Bibi Andersson) and Peter (Jan Malmsjo), Johan and Marianne have to face something rather unlovely. Beginning with taunting asides and barbed revelations (sexual and otherwise), Katerina and Peter erupt into one of those verbal cockfights designed to draw the other spouse's blood in front of mixed company.
