Released in 2009, Erdbeerwein is a drama film directed by Dariusz Jabłoński, running about 109 minutes.

What it’s about. This is not a love story though it is full of love. It is not a comedy though the characters often say funny things. It is not a detective story even though the hero is trying to solve a murder. It is not a nature drama though it shows the splendid colours and customs of the countryside. It is not a musical though Lubica expresses her longing in a passionate dance. Nor is it a film about ghosts though a ghost does ask the hero for a favour. A few draughts of Strawberry Wine are enough to take us into a magical world in the true centre of Europe, where love, crime and penitence are just as much a part of life as the changing of the seasons, the migration of birds or the flowing of a mountain stream.

Who’s in it. Erdbeerwein stars Jiří Macháček as Andrzej, Zuzana Fialová as Lubica Zalatywój, Marian Dziędziel as Adam Kosciejny and Mieczysław Grąbka as Policeman, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, Erdbeerwein has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
