Retreat takes place in the mid 70's on a small farm in central California. The story begins when Amelia, an early 20's seeker of life, comes home to her family fruit farm for the summer after a jarring experience with friends at Joshua Tree. On the farm her world collides with her ultra-conservative older sister, Myriam. After Amelia decides the farm would be a perfect place to start a retreat, a comedic adventure ensues amongst the peach trees. Complete with white haired mystics, Mexican farm workers and hippies running from the law, this film is about what happens when reality sets in and challenges the sisters to take the next step physically, emotionally, and spiritually towards their personal evolution...in the end bringing them closer to the true meaning of "free love".
