Is this the best Bergman movie no one talks about? Mike might have found a new favourite in this lesser seen gem. Three women confront the different manifestations of childbirth through various forms of pain, anguish, and fate. What is meant to be and how do we process the grief of that which is outside of our control? Bergman poignantly reflects the male shortcomings and how they affect the systemic female contingency across different stages of life. Tune in as the hosts continue their journey through Nick's favourite director.
