Plot

A Cold War thriller about a refugee in Sweden who is pursued by agents from the Eastern bloc.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ingmar Bergman's rare Cold War thriller chases a refugee in Sweden pursued by Eastern bloc agents. Signe Hasso and Alf Kjellin star, but Bergman disowned this stilted, propagandistic oddity, which remains one of his weakest films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
