The film offers a thoughtful glimpse into coexistence with people who practice gleaning, historically defined as the gathering of farm produce left behind after the formal harvest. Filmed during travels through rural and urban France, it captures numerous portraits of gleaners collecting what is typically discarded by society, foraging either out of necessity or a protest against the never-ending consumerism.
