Dr. Jenny Isaksson is a successful psychiatrist married to another successful psychiatrist. Staying with her grandparents while her family is away, Jenny starts to suffer from a mental breakdown. Haunted by her past, she becomes unable to function until a new friend starts to help her.

Three years after Scenes from a Marriage, Ingmar Bergman reunites stars Erland Josephson and (an extraordinary and eventually Academy Award®-nominated) Liv Ullmann for this character study. Instead of dividing its attention, the film centers solely on Ullmann’s protagonist. An unabashed triumph.
