Fanny and Alexander

"Fanny and Alexander" is a sprawling family saga that follows the lives of the Ekdahl family in turn-of-the-century Sweden. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, we witness the delights and conflicts of this bourgeois clan as they navigate love, loss, and the strictures of their strict religious upbringing. When Alexander's father dies unexpectedly, his mother remarries a stern bishop, leading to a tumultuous year of change and self-discovery for the entire family. With its richly detailed settings and complex characters, this series is a masterful exploration of the human experience, and features trademark scenes of marital infighting, desperate grief, and searching existential enquiry.
