Synopsis
Based on a short story by James Reil, this sensitive film evokes the flavor of days gone by and pays tender tribute to those who farmed the Prairies in the 1920s. With a few deft strokes, the film portrays the hardships that these people had to endure in their struggle for survival. The film's focus is on the life of one family whose autumn harvesting days are colored by the death of a neighbor during childbirth.
