Synopsis

United since childhood in apparent incest, two sisters struggle and part as the younger seeks her freedom in a heterosexual affair. Bergman's sombre view of modern man's condition – wherein human relations are grotesquely egocentric and perversely sexual – is a truly shattering vision of despair. The third film in Bergman's religious trilogy, The Silence was awarded 'Best Film of the Year' by the Swedish Academy in 1963.
