Each year, an ultra-orthodox Jewish family travels from Aix-les-Bains to a farm in southern Italy to harvest citrons, fulfilling a sacred tradition. During this visit, the farm owner, Elio, encounters Esther, the rabbi’s daughter, who feels constrained by her religious beliefs. Their connection leads Esther to question and ultimately embrace freedom, while Elio rediscovers a sense of peace he had long lost.
