Ingmar Bergman plumbs the depths of his childhood to tell the tale of a family in Uppsala. Episodes 2 and 3 ("Ghost Rehearsal" and "Breakup") detail a momentous rehearsal for family theater's production of Hamlet. Alexander and Fanny's father, Oscar, falls sudden ill onstage. The family is brought together at his sickbed, but it is ultimately Alexander who, too fearful to confront the reality and grotesqueness of death, cannot say goodbye to his own father.
In episode 3, Emilie begins a new relationship with the Bishop Vergerus. It's not a good look. At. All. The authoritarian priest demands strict discipline from the children, especially the dreamy and belligerent Alexander. This will not be the last time they clash heads.
Outro: • Trio Gaspard Schubert ...
