The directorial debut of Nicholas Parish from a script by Nico Mensinga,
The Old Man and the Land gives us a Succession-esque scenario in rural England as the son (Rory Kinnear) and
daughter (Emily Beecham) of an ailing elderly farmer (Roger Marten) bicker over how to honour their father's legacy.
The Old Man and the Land is in UK cinemas from September
20th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
As an old farmer's strength fades, who will inherit the land he loves? His daughter knows farming but lacks sacrifice, while his son sees only property value. As they bicker, will the farmer’s lifelong devotion to the land be lost, or will someone rise to continue his legacy?
