Director's statement
“Strawberry Days takes place at Listerlandet, in southern Sweden, where I grew up. I’ve always been curious about the migrant-workers who came there to work. You see them everywhere, working in the fields, but at the same time it’s like they existed in a parallel reality. I wanted to create a film that puts you in the shoes of these migrant-workers. That looks at Sweden, a country that prides itself on its social equality, through their eyes. At the heart of the story I set two teenagers who, by falling I love, are able to break through the invisible barrier that exists between their worlds. They are able to see each other – when everyone else are caught up by their own self-interest. In making the film I felt it was crucial to work as much as possible with real locations and to include real migrant-workers in the cast. The film depicts a specific place, but since migrant-workers form an essential part of our global economy, it’s also a universal story that I fell an obligation to tell as truthfully as I can”.
