Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones star in this adaptation of Denis Johnson's award-winning novella from filmmaker Clint Bentley, co-writer of 2024's Sing Sing.
A story about Robert Grainier (Edgerton), a day labourer employed as a logger helping to expand the railways across America. Forced to spend prolonged periods of time away from his wife, Gladys (Jones), and their young daughter, Grainier struggles to make sense of his place in a rapidly changing world. As his story unfolds, he experiences great love, unspeakable loss and unique bonds, on a journey that is both distinct and universal.
