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 The pastor (Gunnar Björnstrand) serves Communion as if he were an actor in a play near the end of a long run-withdrawn, saying the words without compassion. The contrast between this remoteness and the fervor on the faces of the communicants as they receive the Host and the Cup states Bergman's theme: a vain search for faith down ways that are closed.

...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...
