- Synopsis:
- With its non-professional cast, this sensitive drama, which explores the intimate relationship between a coal-miner's daughter and her half-brother, is American independent cinema's closest relation to Italian Neorealism. Jessica (Larue Hall), the eldest daughter of a coal miner-turned-farmer, has a fling with her half-brother Carl (Ted Heimerdinger), which complicates things more when she becomes pregnant.
