The radio sputters out and the cows disappear...
It is suddenly deeply quiet, with the bird calls and crunch of rolling tyres the only sounds. / twist slowly to look out the back window:
the gate can no longer be seen.
When 37-year-old Leila suffers a health tragedy, she doesn t recover as quickly as she expected. Her partner, James, suggests a year away from the city - they'll stay on his family farm, where the wide, open spaces and clean country air will help her come to terms with her grief.
But the property is remote and the house oppressive. Leila is disturbed by strange noises, fleeting visions and intrusive dreams. James worries that her medication is causing hallucinations.
As Leila's isolation grows amid the haunted landscape, so does her suspicion that she isn't the first woman James has relocated to the farm.
Is what she's experiencing real? Or is it all in her head?
Tense and psychological, The Farm asks timely questions about women's bodies, what is expected of them, and who is really in control.
