 Summary
In this film, originally made for Swedish television, Ingmar Bergman explores what it means to be a director, what it means to act, and basically what being in the profession is about.
Rational, exacting and self-controlled theater director, Henrik Vogler, often stays after rehearsal to think and plan. On this day, his young star Anna returns, ostensibly looking for a bracelet. They talk, and Vogler falls into a reverie, remembering a day Anna's mother, Rakel, came after rehearsal to beg him to come back to her apartment. He awakes, and Anna reveals the reason she has returned: she jolts him into an emotional response, rare for him, and the feelings of a young woman and an older man play out.
Anna Egerman - Lena Olin
Anna is Vogler's newest young protégé. She is starring as the lead in his new production of Strindberg's "A Dream Play". As they talk, she speaks of her hatred for her mother, now dead, an alcoholic actress, who had been Vogler's star and lover.
