Plots(1)
Gwen (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) lives on a farm in the hills of Snowdonia with her mother, Elen (Maxine Peake) and little sister Mari. Like nearly all the local men, Gwen’s father is away at war. Elen, Gwen, and Mari must already maintain a punishing work schedule to keep the farm going, but they are plagued by one ominous occurrence after another, as well as by a town that begins to become suspicious of their behaviour. A neighbouring family perishes from cholera; potatoes are rotting in the soil; Elen becomes ill and there is no money for medicine. And their sheep — someone has slaughtered every one of their sheep. Who could possibly wish such misfortune on this humble family? (Toronto International Film Festival)
