Ingeborg Holm

Ingeborg Holm (Margaret Day) is a 1913 Swedish social drama film directed by Victor Sjöström, based on a 1906 play by Nils Krok.

[1] Sven Holm and his wife Ingeborg are happily married with three children, and are about to open a shop in Stockholm.

The poorhouse cannot finance a visit, but the determined Ingeborg escapes at night, and, after being chased by police, gets to see the child.

After fifteen years, her elder son, Erik, now a sailor, visits her without knowing of his mother's psychosis.

He becomes desperate when Ingeborg does not recognize him - but when he shows her a youthful photograph of herself, which features the inscription "To Erik from mother", her sanity returns.
