1907 yılında İsveç'te geçen filmde Fanny ve Alexander isminde iki kardeşin babaları öldükten sonra değişen hayatları anlatılıyor. Babaları ölünce, anneleri Emily bir pederle evlenir. Katı bir adam olan üvey babalarının kontrolü altında hapis hayatı süren Ekdahl Ailesi, aile büyükleri ve dostları müdahale edene kadar zor günler geçireceklerdir. 5 Saatlik bir TV dizisi olarak planlanan sonradan kısaltılarak sinemaya aktarılan Ingmar Bergman'ın bu 3,5 saatlik yapıtı, 84 yılında En İyi Yabancı Film Oscarı'nı da evine götürdü.

Rational, exacting, and self-controlled theater director, Henrik Vogler, often stays after rehearsal to think and plan. On this day, Anna comes back, ostensibly looking for a bracelet. She is the lead in his new production of Strindberg's A Dream Play. She talks of her hatred for her mother, now dead, an alcoholic actress, who was Vogler's star and lover.

Shot during the making of Fanny and Alexander, this feature-length documentary presents extended behind-the-scenes material from rehearsals and filming sessions, with Bergman at work staging scenes and directing performances. The film focuses on the practical process of production, including collaboration with the principal cast and key crew members such as cinematographer Sven Nykvist and on-set documentarian Arne Carlsson.
