Strawberry Fields is a 2011 psychological drama film directed by Frances Lea and starring Anna Madeley, Emun Elliott, and Christine Bottomley. It is set in the Kent countryside of England during the summer fruit picking season. It was filmed entirely on location in Kent county,[1] and the background reflects the extensive fruit growing economy of Kent (sometimes called the Garden of England).
Two sisters, Gillian and Emily, have a long history of a strained and troubled relationship, and are recently bereaved by the death of their mother. Both sisters have psychological problems. The cast are all itinerant fruit pickers on the fictional Rymans Farm. Kev, an older Scottish picker (played by Emun Elliott) who has grandiose but unfulfilled plans for his future, and Fabio (played by Jonathan Bonnici), a headstrong and sexually demanding young Italian picker, provide the material for the underlying sexual tension of the film. Gillian's attempts to escape from Emily, frustrated by her own conflicting desire to care for her mentally ill sister.[2]
