This was kind of a waste of time and the movie was too long for the story it told. It is about an ultra-religious farming family whose son is probably secretly gay, although never stated as such, it is hinted at. Somehow (never clearly explained) they take in a troubled teen who also works the streets for gay clients. The movie really goes nowhere. The main star is the son and near the end of the movie he just runs away without any explanation and he isn't seen again. The movie has no real ending. Gay themes aren't really discussed and the movie really didn't have enough of a story, it went long stretches with them just walking through the fields without talking...what could have been an interesting movie was really just a waste of time.
