This confusing political drama is a change of pace for Bergman. The fictitious country of "Liquidatzia", standing in for Nazi Germany, sends a secret agent to Sweden to root out spies and force repatriation of refugees. He uses his wife, a refugee herself, to infiltrate the ring. She apparently kills him one night, but he pops up alive much later in the film. A friendly policeman, and former lover, gets involved for the hunt of the missing man. It's got a few Bergman touches: some brief scenes in a theater and it's told mostly from a woman's point of view, but really doesn't "feel" like a Bergman movie.
