Sat in the middle is the ancient market town of Leominster, where people have been growing, picking, eating, stealing, throwing, pressing, cooking, and honouring apples for many generations.

Part portrait of a fading way of life, part celebration of how a living culture continues to manifest itself, the film raises deep questions about human nature.
