Wild Strawberries
A cantankerous 78‑year‑old bacteriologist drives from Stockholm to Lund to claim a prestigious doctorate anniversary, but his journey is derailed by frail health, a fracturing family and a parade of uncanny hitchhikers who force him to confront the regrets of his past before time runs out.
Synopsis
Crotchety retired doctor Isak Borg travels from Stockholm to Lund, Sweden, with his pregnant and unhappy daughter-in-law, Marianne, to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater. Along the way, they encounter a series of hitchhikers, each of whom prompts the elderly doctor to reflect on the pleasures and failures of his life. These include the vivacious young Sara, who bears a striking resemblance to the doctor.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 37
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
