Drama

When his destituite widowed sister-in-law—whom he had never stopped harbouring feelings for—and her ne'er-do-well son come to live with him after World War II, a mentally-ill farmer who spends all his time destroying unexploded ordnance scattered across the countryside finds a new purpose in his lonely life.

VIBE

A quiet, character-focused drama that unfolds with a gentle melancholy. It explores the profound impact of connection and purpose found in unexpected places, set against a backdrop of post-war recovery and personal struggle.
