Yet another family trauma drama
12 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Watched this one out of curiosity because of several Game of Thrones alumni. Disappointed of Sean Bean's role as "that kind of father". Depiction of family farmers plight of survival, with family trauma included. Father having sex with daughter where she ends.up enjoying it, brother fully aware what's happening. Years later, father dies, daughter under the impression that dad left family farm to her, returns home to find brother has let farm go. All the while she is haunted by childhood memories of dad entering her room. Brother pissed that she would try and take over farm so they argue. A conversation ensues where he asks her why she didn't refuse the father. She tells him "I were only a child. Why didn't you stop him?" Then a fatal accident occurs where brother takes the fall out of guilt for not protecting her from father. At the end she visits him in prison, where they don't speak, yet know they love each other and want to try to fix their relationship. Had a hard time with the audio and their heavy accents, but still got the gist of the story.
