Synopsis
Two politically disengaged classical violinists living a quiet pastoral life on an isolated island are suddenly engulfed by a brutal, nameless civil war, with their moral humanity, marriage, and basic decency systematically degraded as they are forced to participate in executions to survive. Ingmar Bergman's harrowing, visceral anti-war masterpiece starring Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow.
