Synopsis

For the past 3 years, Pierre-Gilles and Antoine have been growing their vegetables entirely naturally. It's not an easy job, with daily threats from the changing climate, pests and diseases, not to mention the financial pressure. The year 2023 has begun with an added challenge: the road running alongside the plot is undergoing major works, complicating access to the crops. What's more, we have to cohabit with the workers, and put up with the noise.
