For as long as they can remember, the Solé family has spent every summer picking the peaches in their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain’s Catalonia region. But this year’s crop may well be their last, as they face eviction.
The owner’s new plans for the land, which include cutting down the peach trees and installing solar panels, cause a rift in this large, close-knit family. For the first time, they face an uncertain future and risk losing more than their orchard.
“Flitting freely with the camera, the film develops many characters, children and adults, whose experience of the land differs greatly. The realistic depiction of the farmers’ difficulties is laced with bucolic poetry and the splendid summer light in Catalonia.” Mathieu Macheret, Le Monde, 17 February 2022
