“Bunches of anger are poured and ripen in the souls of people — heavy bunches, and they will not mature for long now …” John Steinbeck’s cult novel The Grapes of Wrath was first published in America in 1939, received the Pulitzer Prize, and the author himself was later awarded the Nobel Prize on literature. Today «Grapes of Wrath» is included in many curricula of schools and colleges in the United States.
During the Great Depression, a family of ruined farmers is forced to leave their home in Oklahoma. Along the famous «Road 66» across America, like millions of other unemployed, they go, go and even crawl westward to the coveted California. But what awaits them there? And is there any hope for a brighter future?
