About the film
Wild Strawberries at a glance.
Screen Path places this 1957 film at stop 189 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
Crotchety retired doctor Isak Borg travels from Stockholm to Lund, Sweden, with his pregnant and unhappy daughter-in-law, Marianne, in order to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater. Along the way, they encounter a series of hitchhikers, each of whom causes the elderly doctor to muse upon the pleasures and failures of his own life. These include the vivacious young Sara, a dead ringer for the doctor's own first love.
