The arrival of a “troubled” boy and the intrusion of a television competition unsettle the delicate balance of the family and their bond with the land they inhabit. A film that listens closely to the agricultural landscape through its many voices—dialect, Italian, and other European languages— entrusting Gelsomina’s gaze with the task of moving through the fractures and uncertainties of the adult world.
