About

You can stream Autumn Sonata (1978) on Max with a subscription.

After a seven-year absence, Charlotte Andergast travels to Sweden to reunite with her daughter Eva. The pair have a troubled relationship: Charlotte sacrificed the responsibilities of motherhood for a career as a classical pianist. Over an emotional night, the pair reopen the wounds of the past. Charlotte gets another shock when she finds out that her mentally impaired daughter, Helena, is out of the asylum and living with Eva.

Charlotte Andergast trades the warmth of motherhood for the cold perfection of the concert stage, leaving a trail of emotional wreckage in her wake. One long, bruising night of conversation forces a reckoning between a brilliant pianist and the daughter she abandoned.
