'It was a time when everything was possible - All power to the Imagination!' About the all- activity center Gamla Bro in Stockholm 1969-1972.

Neste filme mágico, Bergman filma a ópera "A Flauta Mágica" de Mozart em Estocolmo, no belo teatro de Drottningholm do século XVIII numa conjugação perfeita entre drama, música e cinema. O olhar de Bergman transforma "A Flauta Mágica" num espetáculo completo com uma simbologia sutil mas poderosa, tornando a ópera de Mozart, se é que isso é possível, numa obra ainda mais bela.
