Wild Strawberries is the story of a Swedish man in his seventies who undertakes a day-long journey by car to attend a ceremony in which he will receive honors for his career as a doctor. Along the way he falls into contact and conflict with his fellow passengers: his daughter-in-law, three young hitchhikers, and a married couple. He also experiences disturbing dreams about his past, which reveal to him the ways in which he has failed to fully relate to the people around him. The performances throughout are superb and the story is engaging.
