The Grapes of Guilt
In the family drama "The Grapes of Guilt", two main themes are intertwined - wine and the guilt that a person experiences in his life. The 12-episode film revolves around the wine industry. It tells the story of a young man forced after the death of his uncle to abandon his seemingly orderly life in the US and revive his winery. His desire is strong, he has no experience and his legacy is desperate - lying barrels, debts and workers who will soon be on the street. Only the wayward winemaker of the cellar can get him out of the mess, but her father turns out to be a hidden partner in the business, whose plans do not coincide with those of the "intruder". Secrets and guilt from the past are about to ruin everything.
