The Silence

The third entry in Ingmar Bergman's trilogy about faith and redemption (with 'Through a Glass Darkly' and 'Winter Light'). Two sisters - the sickly, intellectual Ester and the sensual, pragmatic Anna - travel by train with Anna’s young son Johan to a foreign country seemingly on the brink of war. Attempting to cope with their alien surroundings, the sisters resort to their personal vices while vying for Johan’s affection, and in so doing sabotage any hope for a future together.
