Carla Simón

Carla is pregnant and naked, imitating the poses her mother took when she was pregnant with her. Sunlight filters through the windows. You see pictures in Super-8 of mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, smiling, sewing, reciting poems. Then, a young girl travels from the Sixties to the Eighties, until today, crossing the thresholds of femininity and history, until the meeting with Carla by the Blue Sea of Catalonia and with Manel, Carla's newborn son.

Сколько они себя помнят, семья Соле каждое лето собирала персики в своем саду в Алькаррасе, маленькой деревне в Каталонии. Но урожай этого года вполне может стать для них последним, так как им грозит выселение. Новые планы на землю, включающие вырубку персиковых деревьев и установку солнечных батарей, вызывают раскол в этой большой дружной семье. Впервые они сталкиваются с неопределенным будущим и рискуют потерять больше, чем свой сад.
