Carla Simón builds on the deft touch she showed for portraying children and families in Summer 1993, in her Golden Bear winner. Unfolding over the course of a single harvest, she follows the Solé family, who are steeped in tradition but facing change as the land they have farmed as orchards for years is being converted by the landowners into fields of solar panels.
