Woman of Darkness

The film starts from a real case. It happened in Sweden in 1889. Per Nilsson lives with his mother, Anna Månsdotter. His father died years ago. There is an incestuous relationship between mother and son and it has gone on a long time. Per marries Hanna. The reason for the marriage is her money. Anna treats her daughter in law badly. The marriage is cold from the start. Hanna begins to sense that something is going on. She suspects there is something between her husband and her mother in law. As the suspicion grows the air in the house gets heavier. In the real case Hanna was killed. Anna Månsdotter became the last woman executed in Sweden. Gunnel Lindblom and Gösta Ekman appear in the hundred and thirteen minute film, a Swedish production Arne Mattsson finished in 1966.
