What Fanny and Alexander is
Uppsala, Christmas. A child's puppet theater. Loss visits a large bourgeois family when the father dies suddenly. His widow remarries, but the new husband, a severe bishop, brings a dark, frozen order to their lives. Bergman's farewell to theater is a warm snowdrift in hell.
