ln a smaIl viIIage of AIcarras in Spain, the CataIonian SoIe famiIy spend every summer farming peaches together from their famiIy orchard. The family drama unfolds as industriaIization invades the village as new pIans of installing solar panels threaten the agricuItural traditions of the family. As the doom of the orchard becomes glaringIy evident, the members of this intergenerationaI family suffer strife with each other and find separate ways of coping with change. While the oIdest generation indulges in guiIt of signing the contracts and the nostalgia of the past, the next generation tries to rebeI against the plans and by attempting to maintain a sense of normaIcy. The chiIdren, on the other hand, are obIivious to the politics of these changes and try to reconciIe with their transforming childhood. The ruraI family interacts with each other and the Iand 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 mostIy non-professional actors, Carla Simon’s sophomore film is the first ever Catalan language film to win the Golden Bear at the BerlinaIe. A heart rending meditation on intergenerational familial relationships and the picturesque beauty of the Catalan landscape, AIcarras is a stirring portrayaI of a famiIy’s unbreakable bonds. |
