'If you give the Devil fair play, he comes up empty.'
from the unpublished manuscript

Come Up Empty, this comic drama with an underlying moral message takes place at the summer house of the Karlberg family, where daughter Susanne introduces her parents Ingeborg and Jan to her boyfriend for the first time. The subsequent arrival of Jan’s former pupil Gertrud complicates matters and leads to the exposure of old family secrets and hidden passions.
