Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann
During civil war, two musicians retreat to a rural island to farm. They are apolitical; a neighbor sometimes gives them a fish; wine is a luxury.

When the other side restores order, Jan and Eva are arrested as collaborators.

Jan becomes violent and murderous; they flee. Can they escape? If so, to what?—
