Plot: Antoine and Olga move to Spain to set up an organic farm. The villagers aren't too happy to see their arrival, as they are considered outsiders within their tightly knit community. Antoine and Olga persevere, but when they don't want to sell their property to a big investor, the rest of the town gets truly cross with them.

A solid slow burn set in a small Spanish village. Tensions rise between villagers and two expats taking over one of the farms, triggering a spiral of distrust and harassment. The dry, deliberate, and stone-cold direction is perfect for this type of film, but the escalation is limited, and the pacing is a tad sluggish.
Performances are good, the presentation is decent, but a little underwhelming. And the way the second half includes a police investigation is also very much by the numbers. I think the intentions were good, the right choices were made, but the execution was too safe to stand out from the crowd. Solid filler.
