Phil Burbank je skupaj z bratom Georgeom lastnik bogatega ranča v Montani le nekaj let pred ameriškim borznim zlomom. Na začetku filma brata Burbank še vedno skupaj spita v svoji otroški postelji in gledalcu se zazdi, da se bo vsaka sprememba njunih okoliščin zagotovo zdela usodna. Phil je tako naravnost ogorčen, ko se George nenadoma poroči z ovdovelo Rose. Še posebej ga iritira prisotnost Roseinega občutljivega sina Petra. Phil namreč živi po mačističnih načelih, ki se jih je v mlajših letih naučil od svojega sedaj že pokojnega mentorja Bronca Henrya. Philova sovražnost in okrutnost do mame in sina se samo še stopnjujeta, ko vsi začnejo živeti pod isto streho. Stvari pa se začnejo obračati, ko Phil in mladi Peter skleneta nenavadno prijateljstvo, kar močno vznemirja Rose, ki zaradi tega vse globlje tone v alkoholizem.
Epska zgodba in družinska drama spremlja ljudi, ki so iskali srečo in bogastvo v času naftne mrzlice v Kaliforniji na prelomu 20. stoletja. Kronološko niza osebne dogodke iz življenja Daniela Plainviewa. Pred gledalčevimi očmi se odvija Danielova prepričljiva in srhljiva preobrazba iz revnega garaškega iskalca srebra, ki sam skrbi za sina, v samoniklega naftnega mogotca, zaslepljenega od črnega zlata – v tolikšni meri, da v njem nihče, ki mu je blizu, kmalu ne prepozna več niti za trohico človeškega. Med tistimi, ki so hodili z njim ali mu stopili na pot, sta najtežje breme njegove razčlovečenosti nosila njegov gluhonemi sin G. W. ter mladi pridigar Eli Sunday. Slednji predstavlja drugo vrsto obsedenosti in poblaznelosti, ki danes razkraja svet še bolj kot kdajkoli – obsedenost od institucionalizirane vere in resničnega pohlepa, ki ga sprenevedavo prikriva. Ko taka človeka trčita v navzkrižju interesov ter nasprotju ideologij, bo poleg nafte tekla tudi kri.
Film se dogaja leta 1907, v kostumskih časih, v premožni, aristoktratski uppsalski družini, okej, bolj dinastiji, Fanny (Pernilla Alwin) in Alexander (Bertil Guve) pa sta 10-letni brat in 8-letna sestra, ki se kopljeta v relativno liberalni, četudi afektirani idili razširjene, epske družine, dokler njunega očeta (Allan Edwall), gledališkega impresarija in igralca, ne pokoplje infarkt in dokler se njuna mati (Ewa Froling), gledališka zvezdnica, ne poroči s strogim, puritanskim, sadističnim pastorjem (Jan Malmsjö), ki prebudi strahove in duhove, sram in molk, krike in šepetanja, hudičeva očesa in deviške vrelce, kačja jajca in divje jagode, sedme pečate in prizore iz zakonskega življenja. Pastor je mizantropska pošast, ki bi oba otroka najraje izstradal in ki ustvari srhljivo, tesnobno, senzualno, ekscesno, introspektivno, pravljično klimo, v kateri bi v Bergmana zrasel vsak otrok, celo Bog – z blazno tremo.
