Fanny and Alexander

Alexander (Bertil Guve) and his sister Fanny (Pernilla Allwin) grow up in the large, warm Ekdahl household in Uppsala in the early 1900s, among parents who run a theater company. When their father dies, their mother Emilie (Ewa Fröling) marries Bishop Edvard Vergérus (Jan Malmsjö) and moves them into his cold, austere home. Ingmar Bergman puts at risk the boy's imagination, which the new stepfather will not tolerate.
