Alcarras
For as long as they can remember, the Solé family have spent every summer picking the peaches from their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain. But this year's crop will be their last. The owner of the farm has died, his grandson decides to sell the land, and as the family get together for the final harvest, they risk losing far more than just their home…
Critic Reviews:
- " For director Simon, that authenticity was what mattered. That she has created such complex, conflicted characters and won such marvelous performances from amateurs is a testament to her powers of empathy. " – Stephanie Bunbury (Deadline Hollywood Daily)
- " Carla Simón’s naturalistic camera imbeds itself into the Seros family like a quiet observer. She allows the audience to see all the splendour of the Alcarràs region in her wider shots and all the small and intimate moments of the family. " – Nadine Whitney (The Curb)
- " An immersive drama that is subtle, powerful and persuasively authentic, about how three generations in a rural Catalonian family are responding to the loss of their farm. " – Jane Freebury (Jane Freebury)
