    Synopsis

    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.

      Smultronstället is about an old man recalling his past. The original Swedish title literally means "the wild strawberry patch", but idiomatically means an underrated gem of a place. Because it tackles difficult questions about life, and thought-provoking themes such as self-discovery and human existence, the film is often considered to be one of Bergman's most emotional, optimistic and best films. The cast includes Victor Sjöström in his final screen performance, and is a kind of homage to old master.

      A change from usual Bergman movies with themes of religion, this one is focusing on emotional coldness/isolationism and meaning of life. I really enjoyed it.
