"Secrets of Women"
1952
Directed by Ingmar Bergman

This film is a composite of vignettes that bring four women, each involved in a relationship with one of four brothers, together.  They sit around a cozy country cottage, waiting for the arrival of the brothers and recount intimacies about their relationships.  A younger woman, secretly planning her elopement, is listening distantly to the each woman's story.  Bergman enters into his famous dreamlike sequences to set the stage for each woman, who finds a certain catharsis in relating her tale.  Meanwhile, the rich experiences and lessons learned fall on the deaf ears of the younger woman, who can only think of her love. Swedish with English subtitles. 108 minutes.
