Life didn't go as anyone would have expected for Magda Mikkelsen, born Magda Frost to a large farmer and his wife from Western Jutland who, when she was seven years old perished in a carriage accident, leaving Magda an orphan with no siblings and no one to take her in aside from her mother's spinster sister, living in the nearby town of Holstebro. Until marrying, Magda would live with her aunt and grow up at the heart of the town.
Living next to her aunt was the town's school inspector who had a daughter Magda's age called Gudrun. The two girls struck up a friendship and would grow incredibly close, both of them what Magda would describe as mute swans in a pond full of ducks. They were a little apart from everyone else, special, but to each other they would become invaluable.
As they grew into adolescents, their feelings for each other would turn undeniably romantic and albeit their hopes and dreams for themselves were very different, Gudrun wanted to study literature at university in Aarhus while Magda dreamed of nothing more than to get married to a rich man, they connected over this shared, romantic sentiment. Until they were 19, they held off on exploring it, but when they finally - after much agonizing - entered into a romantic and sexual relationship, it was with a vengeance and for the next three years, they enjoyed an obsessive, deepfelt romance, secret to everyone else, but binding them only more closely together.
Even as Gudrun had to leave for Aarhus at age 20 and for the next two years, they would only rarely see each other, writing letters for the rest, they did not give up their relationship - not until Magda, struggling internally and silently with her feelings, met Niels, an almost ten year older merchant from Copenhagen whom she was introduced to by chance at a ball, and he started courting her, advances she soon accepted. Not because she desired him or loved him, but because he was everything she had ever imagined she deserved.
During the next vacation, when Gudrun returned to Holstebro, Magda had to confess to her that she had gotten engaged. They had a large fight about it, but Magda wasn't willing to change her decision and perhaps Gudrun hoped she would eventually see the error of her ways, so she stayed close, her friend, although their relationship was a little poorer for it. She even attended Magda's wedding. She kept writing after Magda moved to the capital.
She kept hoping.
Right until Magda had her first child a year later, and she knew, now her former lover was bound to family life, she could not easily escape again and she would most likely never come back. She lost all hope. To such a degree that on the one-year birthday of Magda's son, the answer to all her prayers, Gudrun threw herself off the tall cliffs at the far West Coast, unwilling to keep living the lie that Magda had so willingly embraced.
In the wake of that, Magda has been left with all that she chose and none of what she wanted, every year on her son's birthday, the day when Gudrun killed herself, writing him a letter, recounting her story to him, hoping he shan't read it until long after she has also left this world.
Ten years after Gudrun's death, Magda has slipped into a death-idealizing state of hallucinations that she is admitted to St. Hans Hospital for, where she ends up living for more than a year, until finally - at the exact hour that Gudrun killed herself, on the anniversary for her death, Magda does the same.
