Bergman's first mature film is a poetic evocation of memory and loss. A young ballerina falls in love and they spend an idyllic summer together on an island. Their affair comes to a sudden and tragic end but its legacy remains in Marie's life. Maj-Britt Nilsson as the ballerina is utterly beguiling, her eyes alive with the freshness of young love.
