    • Synopsis
    • South of France, mid-September. 20 men and women, all broken by life, gather to harvest the good Lord’s grapes. During the harvest, the twenty grape-pickers will endure heatwaves, sticky hands, clipper-induced blisters and waged grape battles.They will face the October storms, and have passionate discussions. Somehow, a kind of a utopic community will emerge. Shot in a Depardon-style, close to Modern life, Harvest is a beautiful social documentary throughout the making of wine, shot in one of the oldest wine-making region of France.
