Last Summers of the Raspberries

In the midst of a midlife crisis, Elisabeth inherits the family farm following her husband's sudden death. Standing up to her in-laws and taking on the immense task of a novice now running the whole operation, she plunges headlong into this new and unpredictable life, with as only allies her sons Junior, who has behavioural problems, and William, who is deaf, as well as the seasonal workers who live on the farm. Together, they will plunge into the heart of moral dilemmas, fight against hyper-controlling in-laws and live disturbing passions! While Elisabeth never really cared about the seasonal workers, they will become almost like a second family. In their respective solitude of mourning and exile, they will all find an unexpected refuge there.

It’s Christmas Eve on the farm. The Conleys are as dysfunctional as ever, and Elisabeth misses Francisco terribly. Spring quickly gives way to a huge project: building a greenhouse. The pressure on Elisabeth has never been greater, especially as Martha continues to hound her for her share of the farm. Despite the many tensions, everyone must pull together for the future of the Gardens. Elisabeth is counting more than ever on Denis to see the project through, and will find additional support in Junior, who hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps.
