Event Description

A Catalonian farming family facing an uncertain future in this bittersweet, beautifully observed ensemble drama.

The Solés have spent every summer in living memory picking peaches from their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain. But this year’s crop will be their last. The landowner’s grandson and heir wants to uproot the trees and install solar panels. Coming together for the harvest, the Solés, played by nonactors, find themselves at odds as to how to go on. As it switches deftly between the characters’ viewpoints, the story explores the rich theme of tradition versus change without sentimentality, drawing, like her debut feature Summer 1993, on Simón’s direct
experience.
