A beautiful summer's evening in a Kent field and around their two caravans a group of strawberry pickers celebrates a birthday.
But what lies behind the buy-one-get-one-free offers at your supermarket and who picks our strawberries?
The Ukrainians: Irina, just off the coach from Kiev, and Andriy, the miner's son from the other Ukraine;
the Poles: Tomasz and Yola;
two Chinese girls; Emanuel, the round-eyed eighteen-year-old from Malawi.
And although he can't pick strawberries, there's also the Dog . . .
Hilarious, gritty, moving and slapstick, Two Caravans has every bit of the extraordinary distinctiveness, wit and heart that made A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian
so successful.
