Viskningar Och Rop Cries and Whispers

en
00:07:17 It is early Monday morning...
00:07:22 and I am in pain.
00:07:37 My sisters...
00:07:44 and Anna...
00:07:47 are taking turns
00:08:36 Good morning.
00:08:38 - Did anything happen?
00:08:42 - Thank you.
00:09:13 Anna, see to the fire.
00:11:31 I thank Thee, dear Lord
00:11:33 to awaken well and cheerful
00:11:36 after a good sleep
00:11:39 and for the enjoyment
00:11:43 I beseech Thee also
00:11:46 to let the angels watch over
00:11:50 whom Thou in Thy unfathomable
00:11:53 in Thy homeland.
00:13:00 Mother is in my thoughts
00:13:04 although she's been dead
00:13:08 I remember
00:13:10 the solitude and peace
00:13:13 I also remember that I would
00:13:17 and spy on her
00:13:21 because I loved her
00:13:26 I loved her because
00:13:28 and beautiful and alive...
00:13:30 and so all-pervadingly
00:13:34 But she could also be cold,
00:13:37 and rebuff me.
00:13:40 Yet I could not help
00:13:44 and now that I'm older,
00:13:48 I wish I could
00:13:51 to tell her
00:13:53 of her boredom,
00:13:56 her longing
00:14:10 And when the wicked witch
00:14:13 that little Gretel
00:14:15 her nose started
00:14:19 At Twelfth Night
00:14:23 and Aunt Olga would come
00:14:26 and her fairy tales.
00:14:28 I always felt frightened
00:14:30 When Mother spoke to me
00:14:33 I could hardly understand
00:14:36 Mother and Maria always had
00:14:40 but then they were so alike.
00:14:42 Jealously I used to wonder what
00:14:46 Everyone was in gay spirits.
00:14:49 I was the only one who couldn't
00:14:52 Another time,
00:14:56 I hid behind the curtain...
00:14:58 and in secret watched her.
00:15:00 She was in the red drawing room
00:15:05 sitting quite still
00:15:07 and her hands resting
00:15:10 Suddenly she saw me...
00:15:12 and in a gentle voice
00:15:14 - Come.
00:15:18 thinking that, as usual,
00:15:31 But instead she gave me
00:15:34 that I nearly
00:15:41 I raised my hand
00:15:45 and for that moment
00:16:16 There's someone out there.
00:16:22 Anna.
00:16:26 There's someone out there.
00:16:37 Good morning, Agnes.
00:16:41 Good morning, Doctor.
00:18:21 She is very tired now.
00:18:26 Thank you.
00:18:32 David!
00:19:44 It's been so long.
00:19:46 When can I see you again?
00:20:39 No!
00:21:25 Some years earlier...
00:21:27 when Agnes had gone to Italy
00:21:30 Maria and her husband, Joakim,
00:21:36 One evening, Anna's
00:21:39 and Maria sent
00:21:41 who lived in the nearby
00:21:43 - Now say "ah."
00:21:46 - Once again.
00:21:49 That hurt a little?
00:21:52 What a good girl.
00:21:55 Off to bed with you now.
00:21:57 You'll feel better
00:22:07 - Thank you.
00:22:10 If you'd like a little supper
00:22:14 Oh yes, that would be nice.
00:22:17 Thank you.
00:22:40 Agnes and Karin are still
00:22:43 I received a letter
00:22:46 Agnes is much better.
00:22:48 - Her cough is entirely gone.
00:22:50 And she's picked up
00:22:54 Karin's husband decided
00:22:58 They've been having
00:23:00 It's like summer, even though
00:23:04 Your husband, he's well?
00:23:06 Joakim, he had some business
00:23:08 and won't be back
00:23:11 I told him I would ask you
00:23:14 on Anna's little girl.
00:23:16 - He sends his best regards.
00:23:24 Anna's been told
00:23:27 The weather's so awful.
00:23:29 I don't think you ought
00:23:35 - You've changed a lot.
00:23:39 Is there anyone else?
00:23:42 Isn't there always?
00:23:44 I never would have thought
00:23:48 Nor does it.
00:24:01 Hmm?
00:24:09 Do you wear spectacles
00:24:22 - Am I bothering you?
00:24:46 Why are you so formal?
00:24:51 Couldn't you let the past
00:25:00 Come here, Marie.
00:25:03 Come.
00:25:08 Look at yourself
00:25:11 You're beautiful.
00:25:13 You are probably
00:25:17 But you have changed
00:25:20 I want you to see
00:25:23 Now your eyes cast quick,
00:25:27 You used to look ahead
00:25:30 openly, unmasked.
00:25:34 Your mouth has taken on
00:25:38 and hunger.
00:25:40 It used to be so soft.
00:25:44 Your complexion is pale now.
00:25:49 Your fine, broad forehead...
00:25:51 now has four wrinkles
00:25:53 No, you can't see it
00:25:56 but you can
00:25:59 Do you know what
00:26:02 - No.
00:26:08 And this fine line
00:26:13 is not as obvious any more...
00:26:16 but it is etched there by
00:26:21 And there,
00:26:24 Why do you sneer
00:26:29 You see it?
00:26:33 See, Marie?
00:26:35 And look under your eyes.
00:26:37 The sharp,
00:26:40 of your impatience
00:26:44 Can you actually see
00:26:47 No, but I feel it
00:26:49 I think
00:26:52 It's evident
00:26:55 - Really? Where?
00:26:58 Because we're so alike,
00:27:01 You mean the selfishness?
00:27:06 Coldness? Unconcern?
00:27:17 I usually find
00:27:21 Is there no absolution
00:27:26 I haven't any need
00:27:33 Good morning, sir.
00:27:35 Good morning.
00:27:51 Thank you.
00:27:59 Good morning, Joakim.
00:28:01 - Welcome home.
00:28:04 Anna's little girl
00:28:06 The doctor
00:28:08 He sends you his regards...
00:28:10 and hopes you can get together
00:28:15 The weather was so bad
00:28:19 He left early this morning
00:28:25 Did you enjoy yourself in town
00:28:33 We have an invitation
00:28:36 They'd be delighted if we
00:28:39 I think I would enjoy that.
00:28:41 It would make for a change.
00:28:44 What do you think about it?
00:28:50 Well, we'll see.
00:29:19 Run along and play.
00:30:04 Joakim.
00:30:12 Joakim.
00:30:21 Help me.
00:30:32 Help me, please.
00:30:56 No.
00:32:01 Anna.
00:32:10 Do you hear?
00:32:14 I only hear the wind
00:32:19 No, it's something else.
00:32:22 I don't hear anything else.
00:32:29 I'm freezing.
00:32:36 Good night.
00:32:53 Anna.
00:32:56 Come here.
00:33:02 Anna.
00:33:05 Come to me.
00:33:17 You're so far away.
00:33:23 Come here.
00:33:26 Close to me.
00:33:44 Do I smell very bad?
00:33:58 - It hurts so much, Anna.
00:34:02 I'm going to stay with you.
00:34:06 - It will all be all right.
00:34:22 You don't have to worry
00:34:25 You know that.
00:34:31 The pillow's so warm.
00:34:34 We can take the other one.
00:34:36 Come. Let's see.
00:34:39 Can you lift yourself up
00:34:49 Can you slide down now?
00:34:55 Is it better so?
00:34:58 Is it better?
00:35:00 You are so good to me.
00:35:25 Yes?
00:35:29 Agnes is worse.
00:35:44 I don't think she's conscious.
00:35:46 She's breathing very strangely.
00:35:49 I'll get my shawl.
00:36:09 Karin!
00:36:12 - Karin!
00:36:14 - Agnes is worse.
00:36:54 - I'll go for the doctor.
00:37:39 Anna! Anna! Anna!
00:37:51 - Where's the doctor?
00:37:55 All right, Anna.
00:37:57 I'll stay with her.
00:37:59 Anna!
00:38:43 I'm much better now.
00:38:47 Only rather warm.
00:38:49 Would you like
00:38:51 - And put on a clean gown?
00:40:32 - I'm a little thirsty.
00:40:52 - Shall I read a little?
00:41:10 "Chapter 34, in which
00:41:14 "he had better go to Bath,
00:41:18 "'But surely, my dear sir,'
00:41:21 "as he stood
00:41:23 "on the morning
00:41:25 "'Surely you don't really mean,
00:41:28 "'and irritation apart...
00:41:30 "'that you won't pay
00:41:32 "'Not one halfpenny,'
00:41:35 "'Not one halfpenny.'
00:41:37 "'Hooray for the principle,
00:41:41 "'when he wouldn't
00:41:43 "observed Mr. Weller, who
00:41:47 "'Sam,' said Mr. Pickwick...
00:41:49 "'have the goodness
00:41:51 "'Certainly, sir,'
00:41:53 "and acting on Mr. Pickwick's
00:42:53 Anna!
00:43:12 Can't anyone...
00:43:16 I can't!
00:43:18 Help me!
00:43:56 I can't.
00:47:47 God, our Father,
00:47:51 has called you home to Him...
00:47:53 still in the bloom
00:47:57 In your life
00:48:00 of bearing a long
00:48:05 You submitted to it patiently
00:48:09 in the certain knowledge that
00:48:12 through the death on the cross
00:48:17 May your Father in Heaven...
00:48:19 when you step
00:48:22 have mercy on your soul.
00:48:25 May He let His angels
00:48:29 of your earthly pain.
00:48:56 Should it be...
00:48:58 that you gathered up
00:49:01 into your body.
00:49:03 Should it be
00:49:05 this hardship
00:49:07 Should it be
00:49:09 as you come to that
00:49:12 Should it be that
00:49:14 turned toward you then.
00:49:16 Should it be that you know
00:49:20 so this God may hear
00:49:23 Should it be that you then
00:49:25 and he hear you out.
00:49:28 Should it be so...
00:49:31 pray for us.
00:49:33 Agnes, dear child,
00:49:36 Listen to what
00:49:38 Pray for us who
00:49:40 left behind
00:49:43 with the sky above us,
00:49:46 Lay your burden
00:49:48 the whole
00:49:50 and plead with Him
00:49:54 Plead with Him
00:49:56 of our anxiety
00:50:01 of our misgivings
00:50:04 Plead with Him
00:50:06 sense and meaning
00:50:09 Agnes, you who have borne...
00:50:11 your anguish and suffering
00:50:14 are most surely worthy...
00:50:17 of advocating our cause.
00:50:27 She was my confirmation child.
00:50:29 We often had talks together
00:50:35 Her faith was stronger
00:50:51 If you don't mind,
00:50:53 and we can discuss
00:50:56 Thank you.
00:51:50 Some years earlier, Karin
00:51:54 were pursuing
00:51:57 During a visit
00:51:59 they stayed for some months
00:52:05 Please, Anna, may I have
00:52:19 - Won't you keep me company?
00:52:48 - What are you smiling about?
00:53:34 Do you want coffee or are we
00:53:37 I don't want coffee.
00:54:30 It's late.
00:55:09 It's but a tissue of lies.
00:55:35 Don't look at me!
00:55:45 Don't look at me
00:55:53 Sorry.
00:56:01 Forgive me.
00:56:10 Help me to undress.
00:58:24 You may go.
00:58:41 It's but a tissue of lies.
00:58:45 It's a monumental
00:58:51 Tissue of lies.
01:01:41 - What are you doing?
01:01:43 books and papers
01:01:47 Karin, I want us
01:01:52 I want us to talk
01:01:56 After all, we're sisters.
01:01:58 We have so many
01:02:01 Karin, it's so strange how
01:02:05 how we only make small talk.
01:02:11 Karin, why won't you
01:02:16 We've both been
01:02:19 We could laugh and cry
01:02:21 We could talk together
01:02:26 We could put our arms
01:02:29 Karin?
01:02:34 I wander through
01:02:37 where all is at once
01:02:41 and it seems
01:02:46 and an event of great importance
01:02:54 Yes, I know I am childish.
01:02:58 You read much more than I do,
01:03:02 Your experience is far greater.
01:03:09 Karin, couldn't we devote
01:03:12 to getting to know
01:03:15 To coming closer together?
01:03:21 I can't stand to be silent
01:03:25 Karin, have I said something
01:03:28 It's easy to do, but I didn't
01:03:32 Karin!
01:04:02 What are you reading?
01:04:04 - I'm reading Agnes' diary.
01:04:07 "Thursday, September 30."
01:04:10 She's written, "I received
01:04:14 "anyone can receive
01:04:16 "A gift that is called
01:04:20 "companionship, relatedness,
01:04:25 "I think this is
01:04:31 No, don't touch me!
01:04:36 I can't stand
01:05:53 I don't want you to do that.
01:05:57 I don't want it.
01:06:00 I don't want you
01:06:17 I can't!
01:06:22 Constant torture.
01:06:24 It's like being
01:06:27 I can't breathe any longer.
01:06:29 All of that guilt.
01:06:39 No!
01:06:46 Leave me alone.
01:06:50 Don't touch me.
01:06:52 Don't touch me.
01:06:55 Don't touch me.
01:06:57 Don't touch me.
01:07:02 I am sorry I lost control
01:07:05 I don't know what came over me.
01:07:07 I suppose it's all the emotion
01:07:12 We were so fond of her.
01:07:16 I'll have our lawyer look after
01:07:19 The fruit please, Anna.
01:07:21 It's best we sell
01:07:24 You and I can divide up
01:07:27 I mean, the furniture
01:07:29 like china, silverware,
01:07:32 All right, Anna,
01:07:44 What shall we do about Anna?
01:07:47 I suggest
01:07:49 and a few weeks extra pay.
01:07:52 And also a little article
01:07:54 She was quite devoted.
01:07:57 The fact of it is that
01:08:01 Now she trails after us
01:08:04 I don't think...
01:08:15 It's true.
01:08:18 I think...
01:08:22 about suicide.
01:08:26 I've often thought about it.
01:08:29 It's...
01:08:31 It's disgusting.
01:08:35 It's very degrading...
01:08:39 and everlastingly the same.
01:09:01 Henrik's an excellent lawyer,
01:09:15 My husband says
01:09:18 He's right.
01:09:20 I fumble.
01:09:22 My hands are too large,
01:09:26 Most disobedient.
01:09:48 You look so disconcerted.
01:09:52 You thought our talk
01:09:59 Do you realize I hate you?
01:10:02 And how foolish I find
01:10:04 and your idiotic
01:10:11 How have I managed
01:10:14 and not say anything?
01:10:17 I know of what you're made...
01:10:20 with your empty caresses
01:10:29 Can you conceive how anybody
01:10:32 as has been my burden?
01:10:34 There's no relief,
01:10:38 There is nothing.
01:10:44 You understand?
01:10:47 for I see it all.
01:11:05 Now you hear how it sounds
01:11:18 You sit there grinning
01:11:20 What are you thinking?
01:11:22 Would you care to tell me?
01:11:26 May I have your opinion?
01:11:31 No!
01:11:34 You'd rather stay silent.
01:11:37 And you are right, Maria!
01:12:13 Maria! Forgive me.
01:12:19 Maybe you mean well.
01:12:23 Maybe you just
01:12:27 Maria, dear, forgive me.
01:12:30 I do run on and on.
01:12:34 No.
01:12:39 Maria, look at me.
01:12:44 Maria, look at me.
01:15:05 Don't you hear it?
01:15:09 Don't you hear the crying?
01:15:13 Someone is crying endlessly.
01:17:02 - Are you afraid of me now?
01:17:07 I'm dead, you see.
01:17:11 The trouble is
01:17:14 I can't leave you all.
01:17:20 I'm so tired.
01:17:23 Can't anyone help me?
01:17:27 - It's but a dream, Agnes.
01:17:32 Perhaps for you it's a dream...
01:17:36 but not for me.
01:17:38 I want Karin to come here.
01:17:49 Agnes wants Karin
01:18:05 Can't you hold my hands
01:18:10 Stay with me
01:18:15 It's so empty all around me.
01:18:32 Nobody would do what you ask.
01:18:37 I won't accept involvement
01:18:45 Perchance, if I had loved you...
01:18:51 but I do not love you.
01:18:57 What you ask me to do
01:18:59 I'm leaving you now.
01:19:15 - Anna.
01:19:21 I want Maria to come.
01:19:42 Agnes wants Maria to come in.
01:20:29 Don't be afraid.
01:20:32 Please touch me.
01:20:36 Please talk with me.
01:20:39 Hold my hands and warm me.
01:20:43 You are my sister.
01:20:48 Oh, how sorry I am for you.
01:20:56 Do you recall
01:20:58 and twilight came
01:21:00 and both of us
01:21:04 and we'd cuddle very close
01:21:09 It's simply the same thing now,
01:21:13 I can't hear
01:21:16 You must come closer to me.
01:21:21 Closer.
01:21:25 Hold my hands.
01:22:41 I'll stay with you.
01:22:46 Don't cry.
01:23:06 You needn't be afraid.
01:23:09 There's my daughter
01:23:12 She must realize that.
01:23:16 It's pure morbidity,
01:23:19 She's already begun to rot.
01:23:21 She has foul spots
01:23:23 I'll take care of her.
01:24:14 The funeral was tolerable.
01:24:18 Thank you.
01:24:20 I just have to bring
01:24:22 Hurry up.
01:24:24 The music was fine. Thankfully,
01:24:29 Fortunate that he had a chill
01:24:32 Hadn't something
01:24:36 Sorry, but I don't understand
01:24:38 She's looked after Agnes
01:24:40 Shouldn't we offer her
01:24:42 or help her find a new place?
01:24:44 Out of the question.
01:24:47 and has had it very easy
01:24:49 Her future
01:24:51 I did promise her she could
01:24:54 - Of her own choosing?
01:24:56 I do detest
01:24:59 but you can't renege.
01:25:02 I think we should
01:25:12 Anna, you may stay on here
01:25:17 You were promised
01:25:28 Thank you.
01:25:32 She's trying
01:25:34 But she won't
01:25:37 - Stay 'til the month's end.
01:25:42 Well, if there's nothing left
01:25:45 Let's leave before the roads
01:25:51 Good-bye now, Anna.
01:25:56 Thank you.
01:26:01 Thank you for all you did.
01:26:26 Hurry now.
01:26:43 - Could I speak to you a second?
01:26:48 That evening we came close
01:26:51 have you thought
01:26:53 Yes, of course,
01:26:56 Could we hold
01:26:58 Dearest Karin, why on earth
01:27:01 I have no idea.
01:27:04 It's that everything seems
01:27:07 I think we've become
01:27:15 What are you thinking about?
01:27:17 I'm thinking
01:27:20 - No, you're not.
01:27:22 hates it
01:27:25 I have no idea
01:27:27 as if I were on trial
01:27:31 What do you want?
01:27:39 - Nothing.
01:27:41 If there's nothing you want,
01:27:43 because I must say good-bye
01:27:54 You touched me.
01:27:58 I don't recall
01:28:01 and never try forcing me
01:28:09 Dearest Karin, give the children
01:28:12 'Til Twelfth Night.
01:28:19 How sad.
01:29:14 "Wednesday,
01:29:19 "The tang of autumn
01:29:22 "but it's mild and fine."
01:29:26 My sisters, Karin and Maria,
01:29:31 It's wonderful
01:29:34 like in the old days,
01:29:39 We were even able to go
01:29:42 such an event for me...
01:29:44 especially since I haven't
01:29:52 Suddenly we began to laugh
01:29:55 that we hadn't seen
01:30:00 We sat in it like three
01:30:03 and Anna pushed us,
01:30:08 All my aches and pains
01:30:12 The people I am most fond of
01:30:17 I could hear their chatting
01:30:20 I could feel the presence
01:30:22 the warmth of their hands.
01:30:25 I wanted to hold the moment fast
01:30:29 "Come what may,
01:30:34 "I cannot wish
01:30:37 "Now, for a few minutes...
01:30:41 "I can experience perfection.
01:30:44 "And I feel profoundly grateful
01:30:47 "which gives me so much."
