Reuniting the characters of Johan and Marianne three decades after "Scenes from a Marriage," "Saraband" follows Marianne’s visit to her reclusive ex-husband, where she finds him locked in a destructive conflict with his troubled son Henrik and Henrik’s musically gifted daughter Karin. Told as an intimate chamber drama, the film explores love, resentment, forgiveness, and the inescapable pull of family bonds.

VIBE

A quiet, deeply felt exploration of lingering connections and the weight of time. It feels like eavesdropping on raw, honest conversations, steeped in the melancholic beauty of fading light and unspoken histories.
