Young farmers
In Germany, there is an apprentice program for farming.
It is a relic of the old East German system. But it still works very well and is an important part of the agricultural economy. We send our kids to Ag school.
In today's film, two apprentices meet as they do their daily work on a farm. We see the operation first hand.
They fall in love.
We do not see this very often. Rural gay life. But here it is, very nicely done.
Stadt Land Fluss* / Harvest (2011)
It is a favorite of mine from the DVD collection and so far there is no limit to watching it given a little rest time in between.
The cast is said to be non-professional except for the two leading men. Sometimes this is noticeable but it did not get in my way.
Some critics were not kind about this film but I enjoyed it very much.
The product is warm and sweet.
There is an indie look to some of it. The color correction is off from reel to reel and there are some sound problems.
But that is just stuff. This rates, for me, a 5 out of Netflix5.
