I watched a wonderful film by Ingmar Bergman, called "Smiles of a Summer Night".
It's a humorous retrospection of human emotions, mainly revolving around love. It reminded me of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in much the same way "Wild Strawberries" reminded me of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".
One scene in Smiles touched me. During a visit of the actress with her mother, the old woman said: "One can never protect a single human being from any kind of suffering. That is what makes one so extremely weary."
She then added: “I am tired of people, but it does not stop me from loving them”.
