In this autobiographical turn-of-the-century saga, a boy and his sister bear witness to the eventful lives of the Ekdahl family. The film follows the children from the charming environs of their grandparents’ theater company to the rigid confines of the local bishop’s palace. From the opening Christmas celebration to the closing baptismal feast, Bergman eschews his trademark metaphysical and neurotic excavations in favor of a more subtly styled journey through the Sweden of his past.
