The life of a family of peach farmers in a small village in Catalonia changes when the owner of their large estate dies and his lifetime heir decides to sell the land, suddenly threatening their livelihood.
Catalan writer-director Carla Simón confirms the promise of her debut ‘Summer 1993’ in this poignant, rippling study of an extended family being forced off their farm.
★★★★★
Driven less by plot than sense of place, Alcarràs draws its sucker-punch of shuddering power from the ambient details that lend that home its history.
