Apple Trees

사과나무

The climate crisis threatens apple cultivation on the Korean Peninsula, pushing farmers to adapt or perish. In Andong, Gyeongbuk Province, a farmer's preparations for a final harvest are underway as orchards face extinction. Contrastingly, in Gangwon Province, young farmer Boran embraces innovative techniques to sustain apple production. In Paju, a dedicated farmer named Jeon Hwan-sik tends to apple trees, preserving a legacy for over two decades. These three farmers, each representing a different approach to apple cultivation, stand at a crossroads. As they confront the harsh realities of climate change, they must make crucial decisions about their future and relationship with the land.
