*NT PREMIERE*
SUNDOWN SCREEN, Darwin Waterfront
Quimet Solé’s family has grown peaches in Alcarràs, Catalonia, ever since they were gifted land by the rich Pinyol family for saving their lives during the Spanish Civil War. But there was no documentation, only the shake of hands and a promise from one man to another. Now the young Pinyol heir wants to evict the Solés and bulldoze their trees to make way for a lucrative solar farm. Told against the backdrop of independent farmers being squeezed out by corporate interests and government failures, this affecting and compassionate study of an endangered way of life is faultlessly performed by a non-professional cast of local community members.
Spanish with English subtitles
Winner - Golden Berlin Bear Berlin International Film Festival 2022
