Synopsis:
Oxblood: A family has toiled, lived, cried, watched the sun rise and rain trickle over fields and meadows for generations. It is a story of vulnerability and tradition. About people and livestock and about surviving side by side with what puts food on the table. The story takes place over a few short summer weeks when the adult daughter Ingrid comes home to the farm, where her father Oscar is struggling to keep the farm going as he gets older.
