Two violinists playing in the same orchestra fall in love and get married. Their up and down relationship is observed over the years.
This 1950 detailed study of a relationship is so real in its themes and approach, it feels quite modern. Excellent performances, strong, believable screenplay and incisive direction in this early Bergman film. The final moment is hauntingly memorable.
