Based on the play of the same name by August Strindberg. The play and the film deal with a marriage in which the couple's only daughter becomes a weapon in their battles with each other. The husband is an officer and scientist and represents the masculine superman who symbolized a still patriarchal and strictly disciplined society. In such an environment, the weakness of the female species is compensated for by her greater inventiveness--and by her ultimate power: not as woman, but as mother. (official distributor synopsis)
