Torna-Hällestad in Skåne, 1834. The blacksmith Christian Lundblad is found dead after being struck by a file his wife threw at him in a fit of rage. She does not deny the deed, but claims she did not mean to kill him — and the court must decide whether it was murder. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real verdict and the real execution. Everyone involved has long since died, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources are included with the case.
