Director Michel Toesca presents an inspiring documentary following a French olive farmer on the southeast border of Italy as he tries to help new migrants that have illegally crossed and taken shelter on his land. Instead of displacing these visitors, he welcomes them and provides shelter and food as he undertakes a battle with the government to provide these migrants a pathway to legal status.
