Introduction
Because of his father’s failing health, Michael is forced to take more responsibility for the family’s farm. It draws him into a long history of conflict with a rival shepherding family, sparking a devastating chain of events. Andrews’ film is a gripping portrait of two men unable to break a generations-old cycle of harm.
