Sweden, early 1900s - an era of social change and unrest, war and poverty. A young working class woman, Maria, wins a camera in a lottery. The camera grants her the eyes to view the world, and empowers her over several decades to raise and nurture her family of six children and an alcoholic, womanizing and sometimes violent, although ultimately loving, husband.

A fairytale for adults. Its about five people with an important liaison to one another. The characters are all avoiding being truthful about the realities of their lives and waiting for some miracle to happen. Instead of optimistically continuing their efforts they find asylum in lies and falsities. The name suits the plot as all the main characters are wishing a Happy End of their existing problems while not doing much practically to improve their Present. This movie is 3rd in sequence of Björn Runge's Trilogy of Liberation. Earlier 2 movies are "Daybreak" and "Mouth to Mouth" respectively. And the main idea behind all these 3 movies is to portray the lives of people who are trying to liberate themselves from destruction.
