Ingmar Bergman won the Best Director prize and the Lead actresses deservedly shared the acting award at the Cannes Film Festival for this deeply affecting study of a three of very different women who meet at a maternity ward.

As they share their psychological and physical sorrows, horrors and experiences, a strong bond grows between these erstwhile strangers.
