Film Synopsis

Legendary director Ingmar Bergman creates a testament to the strength of the soul - and a film of absolute power. Karin and Maria come to the aid of their dying sister, Agnes, but jealousy, manipulation, and selfishness come before empathy. Agnes, tortured by cancer, transcends the pettiness of her sisters' concerns to remember moments of being - moments that Bergman, with the help of Academy Award - winning cinematographer Sven Nykvist, translates into pictures of staggering beauty and unfathomable horror.
