A well made movie about life on the farm. The poverty, limited options, the choices that aren't real choices but making the best of a situation. Thought provoking film. See it. RV

Old, old story - girl betrayed with tragic consequences - in exotic setting. Anthropological and sociological aspects almost overwhelm the narrative, but the story wins out in the end.
