1h 45m
Directed by Francis Lee • 2017 • United Kingdom
Starring Josh O’Connor, Alec Secǎreanu, Gemma Jones
A by turns raw, tender, and sexy tale of queer longing plays out against the bleak beauty of the Yorkshire countryside in this earthy, strikingly naturalistic feature debut from director Francis Lee. Johnny Saxby (Josh O’Connor) works long hours on his family’s remote farm in the north of England. He numbs the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge drinking and casual sex. But when a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu) arrives to take up temporary work on the farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before.
