Description

Despite pressure from the authorities, a gentle Irish farmer refuses to sell the property he inherited from his ancestors. The power of the American company trying to buy his land is great, but the main character’s resolve is even greater. Through complicit camerawork, we get a glimpse of the everyday life of this unique character and his struggle against a powerful system. (LGV)
