An orchestra violinist’s dreams of becoming a celebrated soloist and fears of his own mediocrity get in the way of his marriage to the patient, caring Marta. Played out to the music of Beethoven, Ingmar Bergman’s To Joy is a heartbreaking tale of one man’s inability to overcome the demons standing in the way of his happiness.
