The story of The Indelicate Balance is classic Sarno in every respect. A family tensely awaits the arrival of a prodigal son, Harald, who is the object of an unwholesome affection on the part of his mother, Lena. Harald's pretty new bride, Karin, is awkwardly introduced to the clan consisting most conspicuously of a sister, Ingrid.

For a moment, Harald and Karin's marriage appears gravely imperiled as each is paired off with new romantic counterparts. Harald, however, finally ruptures the scandalous impulses that threaten to destroy the couple's fragile union.
