Shaken by the suicide of her son, Bergman sets out to understand the world crumbling around her. A communist friend sends her out to the people, where she sees poverty and works alongside the poor. But when she helps a young criminal escape the police, her husband has her committed to an
asylum, where she suffers in silence. Although depressing and overlong, this film offers Bergman's best performance in years. (In English.)
