Karin's brother, an adolescent playwright named Minus (pron. Me-noose) (Lars Passgård), exhibits faint symptoms of the disease as well, and their father David (Gunnar Björnstrand), a writer, appears to take a perverse pleasure in observing the decline of his daughter, who, it is hinted, may provide the material for David's upcoming magnum opus.
