Synopsis
Dans une petite colonie néerlandaise, au cœur de la jungle malaise, le docteur Holk, grâce à son travail et à beaucoup d'alcool, arrive à survivre malgré le climat, la pestilence des marais, la solitude par l'absence de compatriotes, la folie meurtrière qui frappe parfois certains naturels. Il reçoit la visite d'une riche femme du monde, Hélène de Haviland qui, enceinte de son jeune amant, Jan, veut avorter avant le retour de son mari parti plusieurs mois au-delà des mers. Le docteur refuse mais atteint de folie amoureuse, amok, subjugué par la beauté hautaine de cette femme il déclare qu'il est prêt à pratiquer l'intervention si elle se donne à lui. Elle ne l'écoute pas davantage et dans sa limousine décapotable conduite par Maté elle retourne dans sa luxueuse demeure où elle va retrouver Jan pour lui annoncer qu'elle veut rompre. Décidée de ne pas mener à terme sa grossesse, elle se rend dans un bouge où elle rencontre un praticien chinois qui se charge de l'affaire. L'intervention est funeste et lorsque le mari revient, c'est le cadavre de sa femme qu'il trouve. Le docteur Holk voulant sauver la réputation de celle qu'il a aimé permet l'inhumation mais Monsieur Haviland veut ramener le corps de son épouse dans son pays natal pour qu'il soit autopsié. Le médecin fermement résolu à sauvegarder l'honneur de cette femme provoque l'immersion du cercueil et se noie par la même occasion.Actors

Persona begins with images of camera equipment and projectors lighting up and projecting dozens of brief cinematic glimpses, including a crucifixion, an erect penis, a tarantula spider, clips from a comedic silent-film reel first seen in Bergman's Prison (depicting a man trapped in a room, being chased by Death and Satan), and the slaughter of a lamb. The last, and longest, glimpse features a boy who wakes up in a hospital next to several corpses, reading Mikhail Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time ("Vår Tids Hjälte" in the film), and caressing a blurry, transient image that shifts between Elisabet and/or Alma's faces.

The story centers on the relationship of the three main characters. Liuda and her husband, Kolia, live in a one-room basement apartment on Third Meschchanskaya Street, a petty-bourgeois neighborhood in Moscow. She is bored and resentful with the constant succession of household duties and the cramped living conditions in which she must cook and attempt to organize her clothes, even though there is no place to put them. She spends her days idly, mostly by reading magazines, notably the popular (at that time) Soviet film fan magazine Soviet Screen (Sovetskii ekran). Kolia works as a stonemason and is charming and good-natured, but also dictatorial and egocentric. When Kolia’s old friend, Volodia, arrives in Moscow, he cannot find a place to live in the overcrowded city, due to a severe housing shortage which was still a major social problem ten years after the revolution. Kolia invites him to stay at their apartment, to sleep on the sofa.

However, abortion at the time is strictly illegal. Claire eventually finds another nurse (CCH Pounder) who provides her the phone number of a woman who can find her someone to perform the abortion. The woman on the phone tells Claire that the only trustworthy abortionist she knows is located in Puerto Rico, and Claire cannot afford the travel costs. After a failed attempt to end her pregnancy with a knitting needle, Claire eventually contacts a man who comes to her home and performs a clandestine procedure on her while she lies on top of a kitchen table. Claire finally manages to abort, but dies shortly afterwards due to hemorrhage.
