Charlotte (Ingrid Bergman) is an outstanding pianist in a certain orchestra. Her daughter Eva (Liv Ullman) is the wife of a pastor working in a rural community. There is a deep emotional gap between them, and they haven't had any communication for seven years. After learning of Charlotte's second husband's death, Eva wrote to invite Charlotte to live with her. Both of them tried to get along well, but couldn't help bringing up the past again. Eva resented Charlotte for not giving her enough care during her childhood, focusing only on her own career and distancing herself from her other daughter, Helin (Lena Neiman), who has a high disability and can only communicate with others by making indistinguishable sounds. Charlotte was also in a bad mood and frowned because Helin lived with Eva and her husband's death had dealt her a heavy blow.[Collapse]
