About Alcarràs (2022) — A Family's Last Summer Harvest on the Edge of Change
Directed by the acclaimed Carla Simón, *Alcarràs (2022)* captures a poignant summer in the life of the Solé family, whose generations-old peach orchard in rural Catalonia becomes the battleground for more than just fruit harvests. As sunlight glints off ripening fruit and laughter mixes with the hum of tractors, this tight-knit clan confronts a harsh reality: their ancestral home and livelihood are on the line due to solar panel development.

Cinematographer Gris Jordana bathes every frame in golden hues, turning the orchard into a character of its own—both nurturing and unforgiving.

The story unfolds with a naturalistic rhythm, mirroring the ebb and flow of rural life—where every decision carries weight, and every season brings both abundance and loss. It's a heartfelt meditation on home, heritage, and the cost of adaptation in a world racing toward the future.
