A visually stunning and beautifully crafted love story set in southern Italy. Esther Zelnik has traveled with her large ultra-orthodox French family from their hometown of Aix-les-Bains to a scenic farm in Calabria, on their annual pilgrimage to select perfect citrons (etrogs) for the upcoming festival of Sukkot. Questioning her faith, this rabbi’s daughter dreams of independence. She is not the only one experiencing inner anguish. Elio, the owner of the estate, gave up his art gallery in Rome after his father’s sudden death. Through their time together, Esther discovers her own path, and Elio finds the inner peace he had lost.
