In a train box, a pair of sisters and sister's children, along the way are the army and tanks, the wandering children saw the soldiers and officers in other cars, as if war was imminent, at the same time, the sister fell ill in the car. This opening reveals a connection, such as the end times, such as despair, such as death. Due to the onset of her sister's illness, her sister had to temporarily stay with her sister in a hotel in a strange city.
lngrid Thurin, who plays her sister, is alone in the hotel room smoking a cigarette and drinking wine. She is cute and playful, and her leisurely state is so cool. So the subsequent masturbation was actually cool to me...even though she was terminally ill. My sister is always reluctant to close the door to her sister's room. She is eager to observe her sister's every move. This strong desire for control and voyeurism makes her extremely disgusted. As for the reason, the film does not give a clear explanation, but only shows a certain a contradictory result. There is almost no and no communication between the sisters. Even if the elder sister is seriously ill, the younger sister just wants to go out and have fun. Of course, this is more like a deliberate escape. Apparently, the sisters' relationship has come to an end. While the child kept wandering in the hotel, he met a group of dwarf actors, an old hotel waiter who looked very strange. Everything seems to be connected in some way. Communication with everyone in the film is extremely difficult, for example, because of language differences, or because of internal estrangement. Scattered narratives lead to further magnification of the character's state of loneliness. The tanks that occasionally appeared in the streets also heralded some kind of war to come. When my sister was watching the show of the dwarf actors in the theater, when she saw the men and women who were making love crazy next to her, she left in horror, and then she hooked up with a male waiter in the restaurant and brought him to the hotel to have sex. She seems to be proving something, both for herself and for others. Then she had sex with a man in front of her sister. And this made my sister on the verge of collapse. Finally, when the war broke out, they had their only "deep exchange", and the effect was even worse. In this "in-depth communication", the man brought back by my sister has always appeared in the camera as the third person. Although he did not speak, it is worth pondering. It seems that Bergman used this to imply that the estrangement and contradiction between sisters are related to sex. Looking back at the beginning of the sister's masturbation alone and now the sister's sex with strangers, this kind of association has to be created, which also explains The reason why my sister has such a strong desire for control and voyeurism. That's why I saw my sister collapse after having sex. Obviously, the sister did not accept her. No matter what, their relationship cannot be repaired, and they can only face each other in silence. Only the child makes futile exchanges between the two women. When the elder sister was on the verge of death, the younger sister left coldly with the child, without even a word of comfort. The last sister's confession of disgusting semen seems to emphasize and acknowledge her own sexual choice. This is her last confession, but only the unfamiliar waiter is listening.
