A reclusive teenage farmboy finds an unlikely source of inspiration to stand-up against his overbearing father. 18-year-old Elliot lives and works on a small family-owned New Zealand dairy farm. He meanders out at dawn towards a herd of feeding cows where his attempt to take the wheel for the morning’s feed-out run is quickly overruled by his overbearing father. Elliot’s resentment grows with his increasingly apparent lack of autonomy and respect on the farm. A routine grocery trip sees Elliot bump into Laura, an enigmatic checkout operator and love interest, who pockets Elliot a pouch of tobacco on the sly, directing him to collect her later on that afternoon. It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct New Zealand style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Julian Vares. With a runtime of 15 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
The main cast includes Tim Hamilton, Peter Tait and Albertine Jonas. Behind the camera, the film is directed by Julian Vares, written by Julian Vares, produced by Craig Gainsborough-Waring.
