Western

Harry Collings returns home to his farm after drifting with his friend, Arch. His wife, who had given up on him, reluctantly allows him to stay, and soon believes that all will be well again. But then Harry has to make a difficult decision regarding his loyalties and priorities.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective western that feels like a dusty, forgotten photograph. It's a mood piece about weary men and the harsh beauty of the frontier, steeped in regret and unspoken longing.
