Presents
Fanny and Alexander
Plot:
It's the early twentieth century Sweden. Adolescent siblings Alexander and Fanny
Ekdahl lead a relatively joyous and exuberant life with their well-off extended
paternal family, led by the family matriarch, their grandmother, Helena Ekdahl.
The openness of the family culture is exemplified by Helena's now deceased
husband ending up becoming best friends with one of her lovers, a Jewish puppet
maker named Isak Jacobi, and their Uncle Gustav Adolf's open liaison with one of
the family maids, Maj, who everyone in the family adores, even Gustav Adolf's
wife, Alma. Between the siblings, Alexander in particular has inherited the
family's love of storytelling, his parents and his grandmother who are actors
and who manage their own theater. Things change for Alexander and Fanny when
their father, Oscar, dies shortly after Christmas 1907. Although she truly does
believe she loves him, the children's mother, Emilie, decides to marry Bishop
Edvard Verg rus, who she first met as the officiate at Oscar's funeral. She
also wants a father figure for the children. Going into the marriage, Emilie has
inclinations that it will be a much different life than she had with the
Ekdahls, but is not prepared for the harsh, austere and strict life Edvard rules
with an iron fist. Emilie, Alexander and Fanny end up being prisoners in the
bishop's stark and humorless house. As Alexander butts head with his stepfather
and tries to learn how to keep to his own principles while obeying Edvard,
Emilie tries to figure out a way to regain her and her children's own destiny,
as Edvard will not consent to divorce, and her "desertion" in the eyes of the
law means that Alexander and Fanny would become his wards.
