This is a grim and mysterious “comedy” about the essence of love and life. Iben has left Frans. Now Iben is with Mikael, who is also with Tine sometimes; Tine who is now with Frans. Nobody is any happier, but what else can they do? The old people have not given up on their dreams either; their desire for life and love is great, however, the selection has shrunk. They take what is on offer, what else can they do? And the little girl who is as cute as little girls are supposed to be – what else can she do? Frans is moving about in all these efforts on life, on love, and on tenderness. He has a bloody agenda of his own, but it is known to nobody: He wakes one winter’s morning and realizes that his life has no meaning. That he has never been able to seize the present, join in life and abstract from the immediate meaninglessness. That everything has crumbled for him. Frans decides that this winter’s morning is to be the last of his life. “All his deeds” is a résumé of Frans’s life and of the people who have merged into his fate. Perhaps they have not lived the best possible lives; nevertheless in contrast to Frans they have been able to be present in life and to live it.
