Where Life Begins

An ultra-orthodox Jewish family from France’s Aix-les-Bains comes to a farm in Calabria for a brief stay every year to carry out a sacred mission: harvesting citrons, for Sukkot. Here Elio, the farm’s owner, meets Esther, the rabbi’s daughter. Through this relationship, Esther will understand the importance of freedom and finding her path, and, in the same way, Elio will find the peace he had lost a long time ago.
