The night that changed everything.
Benny and Frida had tried for a baby at some point during the '70s, but nothing really happened. They were both distraught with this and the desire for children grew so strong that it tore them apart.
Benny cheats on Frida, gets the other woman pregnant, and Frida knows she's lost. So, they divorce and he gets remarried. Imagine that pain. Unable to cope with her misery whenever she saw Benny Andersson, she moves away; far away. To London in fact, and she took a part of Benny's heart with her that day.
Cut to 1986, single, thriving Frida.
Driven, lovelorn Benny.
I'll keep it short.
-Reconciliation.
-Passion.
-Romance.
-Revelations.
-And alcohol of course😉
So imagine Frida's surprise a few weeks later when she finds herself holding a positive pregnancy test. Becoming a mother again in her 40s wasn't exactly at the top of her itinerary.
And picture Benny's confusion in 1991 when he goes to talk it out with Frida in her country home, only to be met by a stroppy little girl.
