Jan-Erik Widgren meets the lonely Bertha Olsson, a woman struggling with alcoholism.

When Caligula learns that Jan-Erik is having an affair with Bertha, he begins to torture his student psychologically. He reserves his cruelest behavior for Bertha, however, which results in a tragic turn of events.
