Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gertrud is a 1964 film from Denmark directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer.The setting is the early years of the 20th century (the film is based on a 1906 play). Gertrud is a former opera singer, and the wife of lawyer and up-and-coming politician Gustav Kanning. Gustav delivers the news that he is getting tabbed for a Cabinet post, but Gertrud rains on his parade by telling him that she wants a divorce.It seems that the marriage has been passionless for some time, and Gertrud, tired of being a Trophy Wife, has been cheating on her husband. She is having an intense affair with Erland Jannson, a young concert pianist. Also complicating things is the arrival in town of Gabriel Lidman, an old lover of Gertrud's before her marriage, who has returned to Stockholm after three years abroadCarl Th. Dreyer's last film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Distant Finale: A finale set decades later shows Gertrud in Paris, meeting her old platonic friend Axel, talking about how she's content with her choices and content with being alone, and how love is the only thing that matters.

Fainting: Gertrud is asked to sing a song for the Vice Chancellor, with Erland accompanying on piano—this right after she's learned that Erland is cheating on her. She faints partway through.

Flashback A flashback shows the scene where Gertrud says she knew she was in love with Erland, when she went over to his apartment to rehearse a song. Another flashback shows the moment Gertrud and Gabriel's relationship ended, when she saw a memo on his desk where he wrote that the love of a woman is the enemy of an artist's career.
