The IMDB.com plot precis states " Spring. Yorkshire. Young farmer Johnny Saxby numbs his daily frustrations with binge drinking and casual sex, until the arrival of a Romanian migrant worker for lambing season ignites an intense relationship that sets Johnny on a new path."
Reviews:
" There's no question that Lee is a bold new voice in British cinema."
"Earnest, honest, accurate, and unrelenting, this is the true romance of the countryside, dung-splattered boots and all."
"This is not a movie about coming out and the collateral damage that ensues. It's a universal tale about giving yourself over to love, even when you seem hopelessly broken."
"Combining gritty realism with poignancy, the result is a film that is exceptionally moving."
