"Picking Apples" by Mike Gordon follows the story of a father and his son as they navigate the complexities of their relationship against the backdrop of a family apple orchard. As they work together during the harvest season, they uncover long-buried emotions and shared memories, learning about love, loss, and the importance of connection. The orchard serves as a symbol of their family's history and traditions, and through laughter and challenges, they strive to bridge the generational gap. Ultimately, it's a poignant exploration of family bonds, resilience, and the simple joys of life. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
