On a cold winter's Sunday, the pastor of a small rural church (Tomas Ericsson) performs service for a tiny congregation; though he is suffering from a cold and a severe crisis of faith. After the service, he attempts to console a fisherman (Jonas Persson) who is tormented by anxiety, but Tomas can only speak about his own troubled relationship with God. A school teacher (Maerta Lundberg) offers Tomas her love as consolation for his loss of faith. But Tomas resists her love as desperately as she offers it to him. This is the second in Bergman's trilogy of films dealing with man's relationship with God.

"31.12. 2020 Ingmar Bergman's powerful study of religion and depression tells about a priest who gives some inconsiderate advices to a depressed man. Before the priest realizes his terrible mistake, it's already too late. Bergman's realism is thought-provoking and hard-hitting. "Winter Light" is obviously anti-religious film but it also criticizes unhealthy dependence in general. One of the characters is an old maid who is desperately trying to flirt with the priest. In one of the most memorable"

"Harmittaa. Talven Valoa menee niihin elokuviin jotka olen pilannut itseltäni kauan ennen ensimmäistä katsomiskertaa. Olen nähnyt katkelmia elokuvasta, lukenut paljon siitä eri lähteistä, Bergmanin omia sanoja sun muiden toistenkin. Olen myös nähnyt First Reformedin, Schraderin soft rebootin. En ole ikinä jaksanut katsoa Titanicia. "
