Among the trees, young women and men working the summer harvest develop new feelings, flirt, try to understand each other, find – and flee – deeper connections.
Sehiri’s observational gaze (crafted alongside DP Frida Marzouk, who makes the most out of the orchard’s warm natural light) may be borrowed from her background in documentary filmmaking. But it is here deftly deployed.
