Andreas, a man struggling with the recent demise of his marriage and his own emotional isolation, befriends a married couple also in the midst of psychological turmoil. In turn he meets Anna, who is grieving the recent deaths of her husband and son. She appears zealous in her faith and steadfast in her search for truth, but gradually her delusions surface.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unsettling portrait of emotional damage and psychological fracture, where a fragile connection between two broken people slowly unravels under the weight of their trauma and delusions. Bergman's brutal anatomy of despair offers no catharsis, only the inescapable sense of people destroying themselves and one another.
