Although formally a German production (with the German title, Herbstsonate, being the official original title), the dialogue is in Swedish, most of the crew and actors were Swedish, and the world premiere was in Stockholm.

Marianne Aminoff as Charlotte's private secretaryĭue to his battle with the Swedish tax authorities at the time, Ingmar Bergman produced Autumn Sonata through his West German company, Personafilm GmbH, with main financing from Lew Grade's British ITC Film, and shot the film in an old film studio outside Oslo in Norway.

While speaking to her agent Paul on the train, she begins to question the unfortunate fate of her disabled and paralyzed daughter, asking the unanswerable question: "Why couldn't she die?" Her older daughter sends her mother a letter starting with: "I realize that I wronged you." The mother apparently reads the letter that concludes by leaving open the possibility of a future reconciliation, though the closing shot is of Viktor putting the letter in the envelope, leaving the possibility that he, or Eva, merely envisioned Charlotte reading the letter. Charlotte asks for a friend to escort her away by train. Eva goes to the grave of her departed son, and her husband ineffectively tries to soothe her ailing sister. In the morning Charlotte prepares for her departure. Upon reaching the landing she starts shouting, "Mama, come!" Hearing this impassioned exchange, her disabled younger sister painfully forces herself out of her bed and starts crawling up to the stairs to where Eva and Charlotte are arguing. Eva's husband overhears this unexpectedly heightened exchange, but wisely decides not to participate and interfere. Mother and daughter begin an impassioned rediscovery and clarification of their past relationship. She goes into the living room followed by Eva, who had heard her mother screaming from the nightmare. At night, Charlotte wakes up from a nightmare: it seems that Eva is choking her. She plans to take a flight home, and buy a new car for herself, as a measure of her altruism.

Before going to bed, Charlotte decides to make a gift of her own car to her daughter.

She immediately re-performs the same prelude after Eva finishes in her own preferred interpretation of the music. She makes a gift of her own wristwatch to Helena, and listens to Eva playing Prelude No. The presence of Helena in Eva's house is shocking to the aging mother. She appears to be the only person who can understand her sister's limited speech ability. As part of her day-to-day life, Eva takes care of her disabled and paralyzed sister Helena (Lena Nyman), whom she has taken out of the hospital into her own home. It is gradually learned through her dialogue with her mother that her life has had a large number of unfortunate setbacks: she respects but does not love her husband Viktor ( Halvar Björk), their son Erik drowned when only four years old, and Charlotte never appears to have loved Eva as a mother normally loves a daughter.

Eva's main concern is to be the mistress of her home, wife, mother, and loving sister. Eva is not as talented as the mother (despite the fact that she has written two books and plays the piano passably). Her mother is a world-renowned pianist, somewhat eccentric, aging, and has survived several husbands. She has not seen her for over seven years. Plot Įva ( Liv Ullmann), wife of the village pastor, invites her mother Charlotte ( Ingrid Bergman) for a visit to her village.
