Synopsis

Pierrick and his father, farmers, come to collect the plow that accidentally killed their brother and son in the middle of a field, a few days ago. Instead of bringing back the plow to the farm, the father flees the sorrow of the mourning by working in the field, to the point of attempting a makeshift stump removal. Facing this senseless and stubborn work, to what point will Pierrick follow his father?
