Synopsis
This film offers an extraordinary and beautiful view of the land that grows the wheat, and a portrait of a way of life under economic siege.
Anthony Nahuliak, his wife and daughter, farm near Hodgson in the manitoba Interlake, on land that has been in the family for generations. Now they must sell their farmequipment, house, and land to pay bank aurally registers an acute sense of loss. This movie seems amoung Paskievich's harshest yet most tender because it so succinctly narrates the very act of displacement.
