Kerstin lives an idyllic suburban life. She is married, she has three children and is a talented fashion illustrator who escapes into her work, and to eroticism. But, she must also fight against the consequences this has for her children.

Kerstin's writing career takes off but with a new man and a child, she needs to escape. She goes to Cuba with her teenage son and tries a new form of psychiatry. She takes time out of life, writes and finds the freedom of eroticism.

Kerstin becomes more liberated. She becomes one of Sweden's most acclaimed writers when her scandalous book, The Most Forbidden, is released. The woman in the book wants everything - just as Kerstin Thorvall herself does.
