At the beginning of the 1950s, Ingmar Bergman bought a movie camera, a 9.5 mm Bell & Howell, which he often used both privately and in his work. This documentary presents these films and reveals the different facets of one of the most important directors of all time. Fragments of interviews and commentaries by Bergman himself are included along with these images. To Bergman the film studio was his playground.
