Johan fleetingly finds comfort in make believe with a troupe of performing dwarfs, then with a kindly old waiter. But always, large-eyed and secretive, he observes the women...

It is inflamed further when she goes to a variety show at a local theater and sees a couple in the audience clearly engaged in making love. In a frenzy, she finds a waiter who has flirted with her and takes him to bed. While they are together, the older sister intrudes and rages at them. The little boy absorbs these events in silence. His mother takes him away the next day. His aunt stays behind and dies...
