[edit] Plot
The screenplay was written by Bergman and Dagmar Edqvist[1][2], whose novel, Music In Darkness, is the basis of the film.
A talented musician, Bengt, who lost his sight after being accidentally shot during his military service. Bengt is gripped by increasing bitterness and develops a relationship with Ingrid, a lower-class girl employed as a servant in the home of Bengt's parents.
The theme of blindness and of a blind's person subjective experience plays a major role in the psychological study depicted in the movie. Bergman was deeply passionate about music and once said,[3] "If I had to choose between losing my eyes or ears—I would keep my ears. I can't imagine anything more terrible than to have my music taken away from me."
