Eva (Liv Ullmann), wife of the village pastor, invites her mother Charlotte (Ingrid Bergman) for a visit to her village. She has not seen her for over seven years. Her mother is a world-renowned pianist, somewhat eccentric, aging, and has survived several husbands. Eva is not as talented as the mother (despite the fact that she has written two books, and has a passing talent at playing the piano). Eva's main concern is to be the mistress of her home, wife, mother and loving sister. It is gradually learned through her dialogue with her mother that her life has had a large number of unfortunate setbacks: a husband (Halvar Björk) she respects, but does not really have affection for, their son drowned when only 4 years old, and Charlotte never appears to have loved Eva as a mother normally loves a daughter. As part of her day-to-day life, Eva takes her disabled and paralyzed sister Helena (Lena Nyman) out of the Hospital into her own home, and she appears to be the only person who can understand her sister's limited speech ability.

Approche de l'orchestre symphonique avec l'orchestre de Paris. Ce film se propose d'extraire l'orchestre symphonique de son abstraction, de lui donner du corps, de l'humaniser, pour prendre la mesure du travail qui précède et accompagne le concert, tout ce qui en conditionne l'existence. Le film se situe résolument du côté du travail, de ses conditions, de ses spécificités, finesses et drôleries. Pour donner à la magie musicale tout son soubassement logistique, en renforcer la force émotionnelle, mesurer toute l'envergure de ce phénomène de raffinement, à tous les étages de son élaboration.
