Story:
“They treat us actors as kids, but Ingmar Bergman made us respectable.”
A documentary feature film with Ingmar Bergman's three favourite actresses. A rare meeting between Bibi Andersson, Harriet Andersson and Gunnel Lindblom, discussing the art of acting and their own experiences of life over the last four decades. What expectations did they have of their profession when they started and how do they feel now? All three are all still very active professionally.
Almost 30 years ago they participated in
THE GIRLS, a film by Mai Zetterling, who died in 1994. As a tribute to her,
LINES FROM THE HEART was filmed in Mai's house in Le Mazel, Ardèche, France
