The toast of the Berlin International Film Festival is coming stateside. This year’s winner of the Golden Bear for best film, “Alcarras,” has been acquired by MUBI. The global streaming service nabbed U.S. rights to the pic and is planning a theatrical release, per Variety.
Directed and co-written by Carla Simón, the drama features a cast of nonprofessional actors and tells the story of a family of peach farmers in a small Spanish village who are facing eviction.
MUBI will also distribute the pic in the U.K., Ireland, Latin America, Turkey, South Asia (including India), and Southeast Asia (including Malaysia), according to the source.
Simón previously took home the Berlinale’s best first feature award for “Summer 1993.”
