An ultra-orthodox Jewish family from Aix-les-Bains travels to a farm in southern Italy every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons (etrogs), an important element in the celebration of Sukkot. Here Elio, the farm owner, secretly helps Esther, the rabbi’s daughter. She is tired of the constraints imposed by her religion. Their stories intersect and hint at a forbidden romance, all told with understated elegance and enhanced by striking cinematography.
