You just have to pick them up.
1:05:06
Robert, a gleaner of many crops,
let us follow him.

1:05:23
I'm looking for pine nuts.
1:05:25
You're really thorough!
1:05:27
Right, I really don't
let anything go by.

1:05:30
In this greenhouse,
the tomato harvest is over.

1:05:34
We pick the remains
before they clean the place.

1:05:38
Here, see the tomatoes...
1:05:41
That's nature,
it shouldn't be wasted.

1:05:45
It's abandoned.
Once the harvest is over,

1:05:48
it's not worth
hiring people just for those.

1:05:51
They'd rather let us do it.
1:05:54
Can anybody go in the greenhouses?
1:05:57
No, not the greenhouses.
I don't know what the law is.

1:06:01
Greenhouses are a facility
to grow vegetables.

1:06:04
Once the harvest is collected,
1:06:06
there's some left, a few tomatoes,
grapes, carrots or celery.

1:06:10
If gleaners remain within the law
1:06:13
farmers can't say anything,
1:06:15
can't sue them for anything.
1:06:18
Even on their property?
1:06:20
Even then, precisely,
1:06:22
gleaning is always
on private property.

1:06:26
Mr. Dessaud, our lawyer in the fields,
explained gleaning rights.

1:06:31
Mrs. Espie, our lawyer in the streets,
tells us about salvaging rights.

1:06:42
The law on gleaning
doesn't apply to these objects.

1:06:47
'' Res derelictae''
1:06:48
are ownerless things,
1:06:50
since the owner's intention
has been clearly expressed:

1:06:54
they have deliberately
abandoned them.

1:06:58
Only the penal code
deals with their status
