Deep in rural America, Ennis, a dour, hard-working dairy farmer, struggles to keep control of his life: his younger wife, Christina, is increasingly withdrawn, while his children dream of a way out of the closed and suffocating silence in which they live. As the tension mounts, each person will have to face his desires and fears, in an increasingly dangerous battle between freedom and control, intimacy and alienation.
