We get to hear Walter openly talk about the incredibly horrible and tragic things that his family has been through. The designer Walter Kalmaru and his family consisting of wife Lotta and daughters Maya and Salme lived a completely ordinary life on Södermalm in Stockholm. It was a happy and beautiful existence until the day when Maya falls ill with anorexia. In just a few years, the situation quickly escalates and the abyss is reached on the day when Maya's mental illness finally takes her life. But it could be darker than that. Parallel to Maya's illness and suicide, her older sister Salme meets a guy. A guy who can be described as a monster. After terrible trauma and with a chest full of guilt, Salme saw no other way but to follow her little sister. Within a year, Walter and Lotta had lost both their daughters. Maya turned 19 and Salme 21. We get to hear Walter openly talk about the incredibly horrible and tragic things that his family has been through. He also explains why he has now chosen to depict everything in the book "The big betrayal - the story of the safety net that didn't exist". We talk about the meaning of life, the shortcomings in Swedish psychiatry and answer the question that everyone asks - how can you bear to live on?
