Bergman Island follows the creative journey of an American filmmaking couple, Chris and Tony, who decide to spend their summer on the remote Swedish island of Fårö. The island holds great significance to them as they are both admirers of the legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, who made Fårö his home and filmed several of his iconic movies there.

Chris, a director, is in the process of writing a screenplay for her next film, which explores the complexities of relationships and the boundaries of love. Meanwhile, Tony, a screenwriter, is crafting a story centered around existentialism and the human psyche. They both hope that the tranquil and mystical atmosphere of Fårö will inspire and invigorate their creative processes.

As they immerse themselves in their work, Chris and Tony become increasingly consumed by their respective scripts. The lines between reality and fiction start to blur, and they find themselves questioning their own identity and their relationship with each other. The island's untamed landscape, with its rugged cliffs, dense forests, and haunting coastlines, becomes a reflection of their inner turmoil.

In this haze of creativity, Chris and Tony begin to experience strange occurrences that echo themes from their screenplays. Dreams and waking life merge, and they encounter enigmatic island inhabitants who seem to embody characters from Bergman's films. The couple becomes entangled in a surreal, introspective journey through their own psyches, addressing their fears, desires, and unresolved issues.

During their exploration of Fårö, they encounter an older couple, Lena and Henrik, who share stories about their interactions with Ingmar Bergman. Through Lena and Henrik's experiences, Chris and Tony gain a deeper understanding of the artistic process and the sacrifices required to create meaningful work.

As the summer progresses and the couple delves deeper into their scripts, they must confront their own demons and the implications of their chosen topics. The film explores themes such as love, identity, creative inspiration, and the complexities of the human psyche. It offers a reflection on the blurred boundaries between fiction and reality, as well as the power of art to shape our lives.

In the end, Chris and Tony must make profound decisions about their work and their relationship while navigating the labyrinthine landscape of Fårö. Bergman Island serves as a pilgrimage to the place that inspired Ingmar Bergman, urging audiences to question the nature of art, reality, and our own personal journeys of self-discovery.
