Memory of a Certain Pear

Common Pear (2025) by director and scriptwriter Gregor Božič follows a story about a certain place, trees, traditions and nature. The nature of the near future, which no longer knows fruit, fertile soil or clean air and in which the coexistence of humans and nature exists only as a memory, captured as analogue archive footage of the interviews with the locals from Goriška Brda. The text explores Božič’s film as a multi-layered ecological dystopia but also as a love letter to fruit growers, fruit trees and its pears.
