Night Is My Future

In Sweden, upper-class pianist Bengt Vyldeke suffers an accident in the military drill and becomes blind. He returns to his aunt Beatrice Schröder's home and is initially supported by his sister Agneta since his fiancée Blanche has called off their engagement and his friends have abandoned him. When Agneta goes off to university, young servant Ingrid helps Bengt in his daily life and falls in love with him--until she overhears a conversation between Bengt and Beatrice in which he belittles Ingrid and calls her "little maid." Bengt travels to play piano in the restaurant of a cunning manager and finds humiliation and loneliness. Years later he meets Ingrid, who is nearing graduation, and he falls in love with her. But Ingrid has a boyfriend Ebbe (Bengt Eklund), strong and handsome, and Bengt must battle his inferiority complex to win Ingrid's love.
