She was a celebrated pianist, and he a world famous film director. They met, fell in love, broke up from their earlier lives and got married. They were committed to each other and to their marriage, a commitment they had not made previously. Yet it didn’t work. Where Did All This Love Go? is their own story, told from the inside, when it took place.
Käbi Laretei and Ingmar Bergman were married for ten years. Both of them broke up from their earlier marriages in order to be together. In many ways, it was a strange marriage, an intense togetherness of two artists. They were separated by her concert tours and his scriptwriting and filmmaking. They yearned and despaired, were anxious about each other and supported one another. All of this they expressed each in their own way, she in a secret diary, and both of them in letters not previously been published. Despite these documents and letters being almost fifty years old, Where Did All This Love Go? is an astoundingly modern story about how two people in love try to devote themselves both to each other and their artistic careers. The book is based above all on the diary Käbi Laretei kept in the early days of their marriage.
