Belgesel; İsveçli yönetmen Ingmar Bergman’ın Yedinci Mühür ve Yaban Çilekleri adlı sinema filmlerinin ve dört tiyatro oyunuyla bir TV filmini yönettiği, en üretken zamanının yanı sıra en çalkantılı yıllarından birine, 1957’ye odaklanıyor. Bergman’ın etkileyici sanatsal mirasının temelindeki varoluşçu temaların özel yaşamındaki yansımalarını araştırıyor.

Bergman: A Year in a Life

On the day Hitler assumes power, the German-Jewish Glickstein family come together for dinner. Most of them—like many Germans at the time—do not take the Nazis seriously. When Leah announces her plans to emigrate to Palestine, her family talks her down. But when Michael indicates he’s actually an admirer of the National Socialist Movement, the family is on the brink of being torn apart.

The Last Supper

On a cold, wintry night, Lena shows up on the doorstep of the Rossberg family mansion. She claims her car has broken down, but her arrival is intentional. Lena is in pursuit of Anselm Rossberg, an aged Auschwitz guard who lives with his daughter, Maria. Anselm and Maria both deny Anselm's past, but Lena is determined to get him to confess, even as her own weapon is turned on her and she is forced into a moral dilemma.
