Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Winter Light (Swedish: Nattvardsgästerna, meaning "The Communicants") is a 1963 film by Ingmar Bergman, starring Gunnar Björnstrand and Ingrid Thulin. It is the second entry in his "Silence of God" trilogy, succeeding Through a Glass Darkly and preceeding Tystnaden.The film focuses on Tomas Ericsson (Björnstrand), a pastor who experiences an existential crisis over God's silence. Taking place largely between two of Ericsson's services, the film focuses upon the characters' struggles with the meaninglessness of existence, though there is a simple plot. After mechanically performing a service, he is approached by a fisherman (Max von Sydow) who is terrified by the prospect of nuclear annihilation and seeks spiritual comfort. To him, Ericsson can only offer his uncertainty. Märta Lundberg (Thulin), a schoolmarm, makes romantic overtures to Ericsson, but he does not reciprocate her love. The film concludes with Ericsson emptily performing a service after an assistant tells him of his troubles with the passion story, and how Jesus thought God had forsaken him on the cross.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Classical Anti-Hero: Ericsson. Because of his own doubts about God, he cannot come up with any consolation for Jonas, and he is unable to find any meaning for his existence, retreating into the motions of being a pastor. | |

Crisis of Faith: The topic of the film. Over the course of it, Ericsson and the parishioners struggle to find meaning in a meaningless, often painful, existence in which God is silent. | |
