Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Marianne and Johan meet again after thirty years without contact, when Marianne suddenly feels a need to see her ex-husband again. She decides to visit Johan at his old summer house in the western province of Dalarna. And so, one beautiful autumn day, there she is, beside his reclining chair, waking him with a light kiss. Staying at a cottage on the property are Johan's son Henrik and Henrik's daughter Karin. Henrik is giving his daughter cello lessons and already sees her future as staked out. Relations between father and son are very strained, but both are protective of Karin. They are all still mourning Anna, Henrik's much-loved wife, who died two years ago, yet who, in many ways, remains present among them. Marianne soon realizes that things are not all as they should be, and she finds herself unwillingly drawn into a complicated and upsetting power struggle. Written by Sujit R. Varma |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film is very autobiographical. The character of Anna is actually Ingrid von Rosen, Ingmar Bergman's wife, who died of cancer, and was his greatest love. The photography of Anna used in the film is also of Ingrid. The movie is also dedicated "to Ingrid", as stated in the opening title screen. See more » |
| Goofs | There are some interesting discrepancies in relation to the time line of the characters. The ages given for the characters are 63 (Marianne), 86 (Johan) and 61 (Henrik). Marianne says that she has not seen Johan for 32 years and that they had been married for 16 years. This means that she married Johan when she was 15 and he was 38. Johan had a falling out with his son when Henrik was 18/19, which must have been after Johan's marriage to Marianne. See more » |

| Quotes |
Henrik:
Dad, where does all this hostility come from? Johan: Speak for yourself. When you were 18 or 19, I tried to get close to you. You'd been seriously ill, and your mother wanted us to talk things out. I said to you, "I know I've been a bad father, and I want to do better." And you screamed at me--yes, screamed--"A bad father? You've never been a father at all!" Then you said you could do without my forced exertions. One should respect honest hatred, and I respect yours. But I really couldn't care less if you hate me. You barely exist. If it weren't for Karin, who thank God takes after her mother, you wouldn't exist for me at all. So there's no hostility here, I assure you. See more » |
