Ingeborg Holm and her husband lead a prosperous existence managing a grocer?s shop. The husband unexpectedly dies, and his wife cannot keep the business going. With no money, she is forced to live in a poorhouse, away from her three children who are taken in by a family for adoption. One day, on visiting the children, the mother realizes that her youngest son no longer recognizes her. The shock is so great, she is taken to hospital. Her oldest son decides he will try all he can to bring his mother back to her right mind, by taking her photographs from the past. With a film star of the time, Hilda Borgström, the film was a great public success and brought about considerable debate in the press about social welfare for the impoverished in Sweden.
