MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company has released the new UK poster for Carla Simón’s (Summer 1993) award-winning Alcarràs. Opening theatrically in the UK and Ireland on 6 January 2023, the film won the Golden Bear award at this year’s Berlinale and is Spain’s entry to the best international feature award at the 2023 Oscars.
As far as they can remember, the Solé family have spent every summer picking the peaches from their orchard in Alcarràs, a small village in Spain. But this year’s crop could be their last,as they face eviction. The new plans for the land include cutting down the peach trees and installing solar panels, which causes a rift within the large tight-knit family. For the first time, they face an uncertain future and risk losing more than their home.
Carla Simón’s second feature, following the international success of Summer 1993 (2017) is inspired by her own farming family from Alcarràs in the Catalonian region of Spain. All members of the extended Solé family, young and old alike, are played by non-professional actors speaking the Catalan dialect specific to the area.
Alcarràs received its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival 2022 and will be released in UK & Irish cinemas on 6 January 2023.
