Synopsis
In 1915, three pregnant women from varying social background enter a maternity ward. Cue a swirl of perspective-shifting flashbacks that illuminate the divergent yet interconnected experiences that have brought them there—coming to a head during one lavish, debauched Midsommar celebration.

Our take
You know Ingmar Bergman, but what about Mai Zetterling? Often drawing from the same pool of actors and broaching similar themes, the Swedish filmmaker made a controversial debut with this frank examination of sex, motherhood, and marriage. It was so brazen that it got her booted from Cannes!
