Jenny Isaksson is a highly qualified, successful psychiatrist, comfortably married to a gifted colleague and surrounded by 'the good things of life'. While her husband is away at a medical congress, Jenny visits her grandparents - and finds that she cannot cope with the memories that flood back....
Ingmar Bergman s own personal turmoil is reflected in this story of a well-adjusted, capable and disciplined person whose shockingly quick breakdown is followed by an agonising rebirth. The film is divided into four acts; each marking a distinct stage of the disaster and offering separate possibilities for the future.
