God's Own Country

Josh O’Connor (Challengers, The Crown) stars as Johnny Saxby, an English farmer numbing the pain of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and casual sex. When a handsome Romanian migrant worker arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. An intense relationship forms between the two which could change Johnny’s life forever. Winner of the World Cinema Directing Award at Sundance, this debut from Francis Lee explores the quiet ache of isolation—and the transformative power of unexpected connection.

"In his debut feature, Lee has crafted a mature love story centered on an immature man facing the fear of even admitting that he needs love at all. It's a film to prize".
Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
