Each year, a motley band of workers travels from the North of France to harvest grapes at a small Champagne vineyard run by an eccentric winemaker with a cult following. Though many return every season — some for over 25 years — as the winemaker begins to hand over the family business to his son, it is unclear if tradition can endure. An immersive collision of two worlds, weaving intimate vérité scenes through the whirlwind labor of the harvest.
