In the dull plot, Bergman uses a lot of redundant and trivial details to show the many unbearable aspects of married life-deception, indifference, numbness, mutual hatred between lovers, betrayal and temptation time and time again. Any conversation will be a source of resentment, and once-righteous happiness will always retaliate against you in the future. Bergman excels at the hysteria of a quiet life, and the protagonists are often praised sweethearts, middle-class, comfortable living, who seem child-loving, caring for each other, like a model couple to be admired. However, boredom builds up little by little in the moments of daily life, becoming a volcano lurking between the two. Finally, her husband's infidelity broke out, and the scars of the past were exposed. Tear off the mask of social roles, it turns out that no one is a good husband or a good father. How love is consumed little by little in marriage, and how much pain a loveless marriage will bring, these seem to have been vividly displayed by Bergman.
