The Solés are peach farmers who have occupied their land for generations on the basis of a handshake deal with the original owners, the Pinyols; the ambitious young Pinyol, doesn’t recognise this agreement, and begins to make moves to evict the family just as picking season starts. Low on funds and with a hard summer ahead, the Solés must contemplate an uncertain future. This spellbinding film focusses, in exquisite detail, on the rhythms of extended family life in rural Spain.
“This finely-tuned Berlinale Golden Bear winner asks many important questions about our relationship with the land and the human cost of progress. A deeply intelligent, humane drama where capitalism has never looked more brutal”.
Peter Bradshaw
