It's a decision we've all faced. There you are, a small-time Scottish farmer minding his own, when the big-shot developer from the city wants to buy up your land and force you out. You hate him, right? So when you get the chance to save his life, what do you do? That dilemma is at the heart of this farmer drama, starring a sprinkling of well-respected, mainly TV-bound British (but not Scottish) actors such as Bernard Hill and John Bowles. Oh, and unlike a few recent releases, there is no subtitling or redubbing; this is Scotland-lite, with the right amount of breathtaking scenery but none of that Irvine Welsh-style talking like the locals do.
