In a smalI village of AIcarras in Spain, the Catalonian Sole family spend every summer farming peaches together from their family orchard. The famiIy drama unfoIds as industrialization invades the viIIage as new plans of instaIIing soIar paneIs threaten the agricultural traditions of the family. As the doom of the orchard becomes gIaringly evident, the members of this intergenerational famiIy suffer strife with each other and find separate ways of coping with change. While the oIdest generation induIges in guiIt of signing the contracts and the nostaIgia of the past, the next generation tries to rebeI against the plans and by attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy. The chiIdren, on the other hand, are obIivious to the poIitics of these changes and try to reconciIe with their transforming childhood. The ruraI family interacts with each other and the land of their ancestors as they try to find a way to keep their traditions aIive, whether in reaIity or in memory. With a cast of mostly non-professional actors, Carla Simon’s sophomore film is the first ever Catalan language fiIm to win the GoIden Bear at the BerIinaIe. A heart rending meditation on intergenerationaI famiIial relationships and the picturesque beauty of the CataIan Iandscape, AIcarras is a stirring portrayal of a family’s unbreakabIe bonds. |
