Eva Mulvad har atter en gang lavet en smuk og tydelig film om et moderne menneske. Han er godsejer, han hedder Harald Krabbe, han har et projekt ved siden af gårdens grundlæggende landbrugsproduktion, han vil optimere de mange kirsebærtræers udbytte, lave fornem vin i stedet for almindelig marmelade. Eva Mulvad vil skildre udvidelsen og fornyelsen, forsøget. De er energiske mennesker de to, de klæder hinanden de to.
Hvor kommer det overskud fra? Jeg tror det kommer fra elegancen – det elegante menneskes sikkerhed, det sikre professionelle greb, som igen kommer af en ubøjelig tro på det sikre valg.
Om kirsebæreventyret lykkes fortæller filmen i den tilbageholdte videns form, det udvikler sig til en thriller, jeg sidder og frygter tilbagegang, uheld, nemesis, dramaturgiens vendepunkt. Hvordan er det nu med eventyr? Det betyder jo i grunden det som vil komme. Jeg tænker på violinisten i instruktørens forrige film, tænker på godsejeren i denne, Eva Mulvad har atter skrevet et tidens dokument, denne gang om det nye modernes elegance, skrevet så klogt og klart om det som vil komme.

SYNOPSIS
A Cherry Tale. Three Danish entrepreneurs embark on making cherry wine on the island of Lolland. An adventure about taking the leap from hobby to risky business. When Harald Krabbe inherits a manor house on the Danish island of Lolland, he wants to try something new. And sometimes you just have to find the right people at the right time. The Nordic wave is rolling, food and wine produced locally are in. And with the wine connoisseur Morten and the master chef Jan, Harald sets about making wine from the cherries of his own grove. A hobby and a passion, which quickly grows into an ambitious business venture for the three adventurers. Even the Queen pays a visit to the vineyard. But the adventure also meets some challenges, as the ambition levels and the pressure increases. Millions are at stake, and the three friends also have their disagreements. Plus, the world of wine is not for amateurs. Snobbery and hierarchies are the order of the day, but there are also fresh opportunities to market oneself as an alternative to the established producers in France. However, the greatest market – and the biggest gamble – is eastwards, in China. Eva Mulvad has followed the three friends during three years of ups and downs in a film about betting everything on a good idea. (CPH:DOX programme)
