Tunisian coming-of-age ensemble drama which unfolds over a day at work for a group of young fruit harvesters.
Among the trees, young women and men working the summer harvest develop new feelings, flirt, try to understand each other, find – and flee – deeper connections. "It was not about the beauty of the place," writer-director Erige Sehiri said in an Eye for Film interview, "but the beauty of them and that's what I wanted to focus on."
