Two cowboys fall in love while tending sheep in the mountains one winter. They go on to have conventional marriages and families, but meet occasionally in the same mountain location to carry on their relationship. Unable to constrain themselves, their affair causes great pain to the other people in their life. A long, drawn-out melodrama with the novelty of a gay relationship at its core (for a mainstream movie), but melodrama nonetheless. Heath Ledger mumbles his way through the role as the masculine cowboy while Jake Gyllenhaal cries a lot as the sensitive cowboy.
