A metaphysical masterpiece that uses medieval plague, chess with Death, and symbolic encounters to interrogate faith, meaning, and mortality with austere philosophical rigor.

When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.
