Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

A group of farmers live lives of steady routine, tending to the very demanding farm animals. One day the water pump runs dry, and the farmers are faced with uncertainty, desperately searching the cloudless skies. The farm is visited by a group of sentimental campers, who photograph the picturesque surroundings, in stark contrast to another visiting group of ruthless hunters, who go around shooting anything that moves.
