On a farm amidst the tobacco fields of North Carolina lie buried the ashes of the father of Tracy and Jesse, in the land that he loved as nothing in the world. One week after his death, the two siblings find three older men camping in their field, who claim that they lived there 50 years ago and want to reclaim their land. The screenwriter of Junebug (a benchmark in American independent cinema) directs a film about family, ownership, grief, and letting go, eliciting a strong performance by Amy Ryan – each wrinkle on her face is an inscription of the trajectory from optimism to despair.
