A hard-working farmer, desperate due to the harsh reality of his daily struggle, is determined to have his son take over the farm and continue his legacy. The mother tries her best to keep the family together, but with increasing horror the son witnesses his father’s psychotic behavior escalate.
A sensory depiction of rural life in 1970s Sweden, Jens Assur’s meticulous character study lays bare the generational differences that parallel the rise in new farming technologies. Unlike the birds that soar above the seemingly boundless horizon, a family finds itself in a cycle of stagnancy.
