Summary: A film classic directed by Ingmar Bergman. Victor Sjöström plays an elderly professor who while travelling to receive an award reviews his life. Flashbacks and symbolism are masterfully employed to show his selfishness, his coldness and his inability to give himself in love. Gradually he comes to terms with his faults and is reconciled to the idea of approaching death.
