Drama

Gaby owns a farm on which he raises lambs: Bouchard & Sons Farm. But he has no sons. Rather, he has two daughters that he raised like princesses and who live far away, in the big city. One day, the oldest asks him for some financial support so she doesn't end up losing her house...

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative drama about the weight of unspoken words and the enduring pull of the land. It feels like a long, slow exhale, steeped in the melancholic beauty of rural isolation and the complex ties of family.
