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.

★★★★★ · Great storytelling with flashback · Ashoka0811 · 2023-06-04
The flashback technique is beautifully implemented. Dreams and nightmares with the past are picturized sensibly. Many directors are following Ingmar Bergman's flashback technique. His storytelling way is touching.
