The Olive Tree

Alma’s household has been producing high quality olive oil within the Baix Maestrat space of Spain’s Castellón for generations. But altering pressures within the business have made their conventional practices economically untenable, and the household is now within the mass-production poultry enterprise. Alma’s grandfather has not spoken in years. Unhappiness envelopes him, and he now not desires to eat. His sons—Alma’s father and uncle—are impatient with him, however Alma understands her grandfather. She realizes he has been grieving for a thousand-year-old olive tree that the household has uprooted and bought to pay some money owed. (A sadly frequent actuality in Castellón at current.) Unable to bear the concept her grandfather may die with out seeing this horrible incorrect corrected, Alma undertakes a quixotic mission to find the tree and return it to the household orchard, in order that her grandfather might have peace in his closing days.
