    • Synopsis
    • Jacques, an actor drowning in debt, flees to the countryside to escape his creditors. He winds up on Simon’s secluded farm, and has no choice but to accept a “contract” to help the farmer harvest his marijuana on time. Despite a rough start in the dead of winter, Jacques and Simon forge a strong, mutually beneficial bond. And then there’s Francesca, a sharp young woman who becomes a key part of their venture. The three achieve a delicate balance, but can it withstand the looming threat from the outside world?
