Alcarrás (2022)

For as long as they can remember, the Solé family has spent every summer picking the peaches in their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain’s Catalonia region. But this year’s crop may well be their last, as they face eviction. The new plans for the land, which include cutting down the peach trees and installing solar panels, cause a rift in this large, tight-knit family. For the first time, they face an uncertain future and risk losing more than their orchard.

The film is screened with English subtitles.

Runtime: 180 min.

Alcarrás is screened in partnership with the European Parliament.

After the film, journalist Jakob Skaaning will moderate a discussion with Ditte Brasso Sørensen, Deputy Director of the think tank Europa, and Rasmus Sangild from the European Climate Council, about the future of nature and who has the right to decide over our shared Earth.
