Alcarr脿s
synopsis
Winner of the Golden Bear at this year's Berlinale Festival, Carla Sim贸n's follow-up to her acclaimed childhood drama Summer 1993 is a ruminative, lived-in portrait of a rural family in present-day Catalonia whose way of life is rapidly changing. The Sol茅 clan live in a small village, annually harvesting peaches for local business and export. However, their livelihood is put in jeopardy by the looming threat of the construction of solar panels, which would necessitate the destruction of their orchard. From this simple narrative, pitting agricultural tradition against the onrushing train of modern progress, Sim贸n weaves a marvelously textured film that moves to the unpredictable rhythms and caprices of nature and family life.
