1. Realism.
2. Dream: Lost, Old Empty Street, no watch hands + 2 eyes, no facial features, dead, the carriage hits the lights and the coffin falls to the ground. Someone's hand, caught (it was himself). Surreal.
3. Talk to the servant. "Idiot would make me an honorable idiot."
4. Talk to daughter-in-law (car) (Marianne). Men smoke, women cry, children, complain. Son hates him. Selfish, ruthless, stubborn. Hidden in the old.../Marriage disputes. Ignore the mental pain. The psychiatrist sees the minister. cat or person. Pity. "I am not interested in dreams". Hum a song.
5. Revisit the old place. Wild strawberries. Sara. [see] Memories.
6. New girl Sarah.

9. The old mother. Naming Day. Feminism (woman + baby). Sarah is married to Sifri. "Marry Daddy". Cold stomach (low blood pressure). table (no pointer).
10. Girls (How can one believe in God). Boys fight. "Does God exist?"
11. Tempest. Sleepy, humiliating dreams.

Verdict: incapatant? (incompetent) + subtle accusation: selfish, ruthless. Woman man, mirror, tears, laughing and crying. Tuesday, May 1, 1917. Wife cheating, tranquilizers. Surgery. Lonely.
12. "I am dead, although I am alive." The 38-year-old son also said the same. Needs: women - to create life; men - to die. Coldness, death, loneliness. Children send flowers.

Wild Strawberries quotes

  • Dr. Evald Borg: It's absurd to bring children into this world and think they'll be better off than we were.

    Marianne Borg: That's just an excuse.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Call it what you want. I was an unwanted child in a hellish marriage.

  • Marianne Borg: You're a coward.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Yes. This life sickens me. I will not be forced to take on a responsibility that will make me live for one day longer than I want to. And you know that I mean what I say.
