Agne, a constant farmer who lives in 1970s rural Sweden, fights tooth and nail to save his farm from the owner’s profit-driven aspirations and the overall tendency to “modernize.” As the farm was run by the same family for the last century, passing from generation to generation, Agne is certain that his eldest son will take over. When he gets to know his son’s real intentions, he will have difficulties in discerning the fine line between stubbornness and madness. The first feature film by famous photographer Jens Assur is a dramatic, cliffhanging ode to family burden and the power of the inevitable.
