From a historical perspective, "Ko zorijo jagode" holds a significant place in Slovenian film history. According to a review on Kinodvor, the film was part of a small wave of Slovenian youth films produced in the late 1970s, including "Sreča na vrvici" (1977) and "To so gadi" (1977). What set "Ko zorijo jagode" apart was its sexualization of the youth film genre: "Ranflov film Ko zorijo jagode je bil nekaj posebnega – ker je mladinski film seksualiziral". This bold approach made it a precursor to later films that explored adolescent sexuality with similar frankness.
