Synopsis: | Two students arrive at a Canadian tobacco farm, ostensibly to make their summer cash but really to revisit mutual resentments festering since last year's expedition; Irish male reserve had blocked any clearing of the air when they got back home. A bit of fresh trauma this time around unveils the hurts of the year before, but there is no catharsis ad healing; the cuts of the old wounds seem only to deepen. | |||||
