The movie portrays the heart wrenching story of how hardships of trying to keep a family farm afloat in today's world take a toll on mental health. In the aftermath of a suicide, a grieving widow must come to terms with her situation and decide if it's worthwhile to pursue farming.
Just on the surface level this movie addresses complex issues like depression, substance abuse, and isolation, but the best part is that beneath the surface it also tackles so much more, like the societal issues that create such problems. This movie offers a touching example of the resiliency and community efforts it takes just to keep food on the tables, but ever so subtly also calls attention to what needs to change in modern societies.
I'm writing this as both a farmer and as a psychologist. The accuracy of the portrayals in this film are spot on and certainly pull at your heart strings. I highly recommend it!
