Sunset Song

Running time: 35 mins

When love and duty call, to what will you listen? Cinequest Maverick Spirit Winner Terence Davies reveals that sometimes the toughest battles aren't fought only in the trenches—but on the perilous fronts of disquiet hearts. Young and beautiful Chris Guthrie marries the man of her dreams only to have him snatched away by the coming war. Now she must rely on inner strength and perseverance to fight for the life she desires. World War I sets the backdrop for this tale of discovery, love, vulnerability, and strength. With breathtaking scenes of rural Scotland, Sunset Song captures the innocence of the land and its people before the war. - Alexandra Avila
