The Old Man and the Land

An audio-driven cinematic experience with the story of a tense family conflict between a father and his two adult children.

David and Laura are the tearaway underachievers who grew up on the still-lucrative family farm run by their father. The old farmer works his land like he always has, season after season, though his powers are now waning. But who will he leave it to in turn, when the time finally does come, for him to let go?

Duelling voiceovers from Rory Kinnear and Emily Beecham relate the sorry details of the filial squabbling and parental trauma of Nico Mensinga’s pitch perfect screenplay. Roger Marten’s “old man” contribution is simply silence.
