IMDb

The protagonist, Walter Thirsk, never quite accepted by the community of an unnamed Scottish village, tells the story from his perspective. The story begins with the arrival of some strangers to the bounds of the village. After a brief altercation with the three newcomers, the two men are chained to a pillory for a week. The woman travelling with them has her hair shaven off. Meanwhile, another newcomer has recently been spotted taking careful notes and making drawings of the land. It is his presence more than any other that will threaten the village's entire way of life.

"With this film we had the chance to examine the moment when it all began for us – twentyfirst-century heirs to a universal story of land loss. To me, Harvest is a film about reckoning. What have we done? Where do we go from here? How can we salvage our soil, the self within the commons? An agrarian community is disrupted by three breeds of outsiders: the map-maker, the people on the move, and the company man – all archetypes of shattering change. The future is not part of the story – it will happen offscreen, in a world we are not meant to see." (Athina Rachel Tsangari)

Ukrainian intelligence services have intercepted thousands of phone calls Russian soldiers made from the battlefield in Ukraine to their families and friends in Russia, painting a stark picture of the cruelty of war in a dizzying emotional tension. Juxtaposed with images of the destruction caused by the invasion, the voices of the Russian soldiers – ranging from being filled with heroic illusions to complete disappointment and loss of reason, from looting to committing more horrible war crimes, from propaganda to doubt and disillusionment – expose the whole scope of the dehumanizing power.
