FROM THE VINE tells the story of a downtrodden CEO who, experiencing a moral crisis, travels back to Italy to re-calibrate his moral compass. Mark discovers new life by reviving his Nonno’s old vineyard, offering the small town of Acerenza a sustainable future and reconnecting him with his family in the process. Combining magic realism and Italian neorealism, and set against the backdrop of wine country Italy, the film is about finding your roots in your family when you’re at the bottom of the barrel.
