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, as they soon discover, the landowners of the orchards they farm plan to replace peach trees with solar panels. As the children and the adults get together for the harvest, the family finds themselves at odds as to how they should go on, and risk losing more than their home.

Writer/director Carla Simón's film is a personal and beautifully observed ensemble drama, inspired by her own family story, balances a bristling political conscience against its tenderly observed domestic drama.
