## Synopsis

A Ship Bound for India is a 1947 Swedish melodrama film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, based on the play by Martin Söderhjelm. It was originally released as A Ship to India in the United Kingdom and Frustration in the United States. The film is about the relationships within a family, a subject with which Bergman often dealt in later films, and uses other common devices of Bergman, such as the hard father figure. Birger Malmsten, who plays the lead character Johannes, went on to feature in several later Bergman films.
