Lesbian farmers on a remote ranch have their idyllic life interrupted by the arrival of a stranger. At first he just helps out with chores like fixing the roof, but after awhile he abruptly proposes to one of the women. She eventually accepts, sending the other girl into a tailspin. It's an interesting and unusual story, to say the least, but dragged down by the heavy-handed symbolism, and especially the unnecessary on-screen killings of several animals. I realize this is farm life, but do we really need to watch a real fox die for a movie?
