ancient walled city remains.


Scenes from Ingmar Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" (Smultronstället)

Link to a Synopsis of the Film

"The Doctoral Promotion was accompanied by Trumpet Fanfares, Bells Ringing, Field-Cannon Salutes, masses of people, the giant procession from the University to the Cathedral, the white-dressed garland girls, royalty, old age, wisdom, beautiful music, stately Latin sentences which echoed off the high vaulted walls, the students, women in bright magnificent dresses - this strange rite with its heavy symbolism, as if in a dream." (From Wild Strawberries)


The secret place in the woods where the wild berries grow.
