Beneath the unforgiving sun of Depression-era Northern California, two drifters chase a fragile dream. Childhood friends George Milton (Patrick Shearer), quick-witted and fiercely protective, and Lennie Small (Karack Osborn), a man of immense strength and a child's heart, are bound together by shared history and the hope of a better life. A little bit of land, a small house, a rabbit hutch, and freedom from the cruelty of the world.

When the pair seek work on a ranch, they find themselves in a bunkhouse simmering with loneliness and suspicion.

Set against a hot and unforgiving landscape,

A timeless story about the human need to belong and the price of dreams, this classic comes alive with searing relevancy under the direction of Ben Lynskey. It asks: how can we hold onto hope in a world that seemingly offers none?
