Synopsis:
This film is a love story – encompassing the 42-years and 12-films long relationship between legendary actress Liv Ullmann and master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. This is an affectionate yet truthful account of two intertwined lives that experienced the full spectrum of extreme emotions together, survived through excruciating times, and left us with enduring creations as the ardent proof of their passion, both on and off-screen. Told entirely from Liv Ullmann's point of view, this biopic of an extraordinary relationship is constructed as a collage of images and sounds from the timeless Ullmann-Bergman films, behind-the-scenes footage, still photographs, passages from Liv’s book 'Changing' and Ingmar's love letters to Liv. Ultimately, this is a candid look, not only at two of the greatest artists of our time, but also at two human beings…friends…soul mates !
