    • Synopsis
    • In the village of Lussas, some people meet up in an old house which used to be the town grocery. Today, it is transformed into the headquarters of quite an unexpected business venture for this rural village. The group is busy creating a SVOD platform for art house documentary films, like those shown during the August festival that has been a fixture there for thirty years. While the platform is in development, a huge building is being constructed to accommodate the expansion of this fledgling business. As the farmers harvest fruit and make wine, the group actively works to achieve their dreams of forging their own device to produce and air films.
