Written in a starkly poetic language, it features a love triangle within a community that is either pre-industrial or post-apocalyptic, Christian or pagan. A young woman hemmed in by language (played by Catherine Walker), who has recently married an adulterous ploughman (Vincent Regan), discovers self-awareness and literacy through the despised miller (Lorcan Cranitch, pictured above with Walker).
