Synopsis : Based on actual events, it sees French couple Antoine (Denis Ménochet) and Olga (Marina Foïs) living a bucolic existence, farming and marketing their produce. Tensions with neighbours Xan (Luis Zahera, superb) and his brother spring from Antoine’s refusal of a financial offer from a wind turbine company that Xan believes would have given his family the chance to escape their backbreaking pastoral existence for a better and easier life. As these tensions escalate past breaking point, the comparative strength of the male and female characters is just one fascinating element of an intensely gripping film.
