I am always on the look out for anything where people are trying to survive a world that is clearly screwed. This came up on some forums as fitting the bill. It isn't. In this world people are a bit thirsty, well some of them are anyway.
This is more like a western in look, feel and in plot.
A struggling farm owner is trying to get the water company to put a main into his farm. The main character is an interesting chap with high morals, including a healthy obligation to his fellow man. He does however have some drinking demons.
What plays out is story of struggle, conflict, betrayal and absolution. Pretty much like a western then.
Performances are great, scenery and production are excellent. The story is grounded and interesting - but not particularly exciting.
A well made film with a good story - just not what I was looking for on the night.
