Engel av nylon

But when the long-awaited child is born, nothing is as she expected. Everyone says that a mother will always love her child, but Beate is riddled with doubt. Does she love her child? She was not moved to tears by Sophie's performance at the St. Lucia procession and she is convinced that if her daughter were drowning she would not jump in the water to save her. Nylon Angel is a touching story about motherhood, the relationship between mother and child and how difficult it is to live up to expectations. Beate is a monster of a mother. She appears to lack what other women have, the maternal gene. And one day, she does not hear her daughter's calls.
