Returning home after seven years at sea, a sailor relives his youth aboard a salvage ship dominated by his abusive father, recalling love, betrayal, and the desire to escape. Told in flashback, the film explores family conflict, longing, and moral reckoning in an early milestone of Ingmar Bergman’s career.
