Church bells ring on a winter Sunday in a Swedish coastal village. The devout -they number just nine-assemble in the drafty little stone building. The pastor (Gunnar Björnstrand) serves Communion as if he were an actor in a play near the end of a long run-withdrawn, saying the words without compassion.

There are those who flee into rebellion as if it were a second country, like Lenin or Garibaldi or T. E. Lawrence, or find in it a devout clique of followers, like Freud or Sartre.

...small hello. He was homesick. Seeing how U.S. banks helped small businesses to get on their feet, Shoman decided that what the Arabs needed was their own bank-an enterprise that no Moslem had so far undertaken because of the Koran's injunction against usury. Devout Shoman felt certain that the Prophet had not meant to forbid honest commercial banking, and in 1929, taking the considerable money he had earned in the U.S., he returned to Palestine...
