SALLY AND FREEDOM
(Sally Och Friheten)

Country:
Sweden
Run Time:
102 minutes
Sally, a 28-year-old social worker, is the only child of working-class parents and the only one on either side of the family who has had any higher education.
The film opens with the breakup of her 10-year marriage to Jonas, an established young lawyer. They knew each other as students, married young and have a 6-year-old daughter Mia.
Sally moved from her parents' home directly to Jonas, who took over where her parents left off. But now she wants to stand on her own feet, become an independent woman and, together with her daughter, come to terms with herself, her life and her child.
Freedom is within reach - at least on paper. If she has a man in her life again, it will be because she wants him not for the sake of duty, and it will be a relationship marked by mutual freedom and comradeship.
Gunnel Lindblom is familiar from her leading roles in several films by Ingmar Bergman including "The Seventh Seal" (1957), "Wild Strawberries" (1957), "The Virgin Spring" (1960), "Winter Lights" (1963) and "The Silence" (1963). Since 1968 she has been on the staff of Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theater. SALLY AND FREEDOM is her second directorial effort.
For her portrayal of Sally, Ewa Froling received the Best Actress Award at the 1981 Montreal Film Festival.
