Dreyer's final film is a Danish drama based on the 1906 play of the same name by Hjalmar Söderberg.
Gertrud, unhappily married with a lawyer and politician, meets first her former lover, a famous poet, then starts a relation with a young composer and eventually ends up living alone.
Thirty years later, Gertrud looks back at her life. She says that love is the only thing that means anything in life. She is now alone because of her refusal to compromise on that position, but does not regret anything.
Her epigraph will be: "Love is all".
