Alcarràs

As far as they can remember, the Solé family has spent every summer harvesting peaches in their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Catalonia. Their landlords, the wealthy Pinyol family, gifted them the land in gratitude for saving their lives during the Spanish Civil War. But this year’s crop could be their last, as they face eviction, and the peach trees are about to make way for solar panels. Carla Simón uses the farm in crisis to reflect on identity, family, and our relationship with the land that feeds us and presents a vibrant, moving, and nuanced family drama.
