Over seven hallucinatory days, a village with no name, in an undefined time, disappears. Harvest is a neo-Western about townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk (Caleb Landry-Jones) and benevolent lord of the manor Charles Kent (Harry Melling), childhood friends about to face an invasion from the outside world: the trauma of modernity.
The film is an adaptation of the Booker prize-nominated novel Harvest by Jim Crace, hailed as one of the best books of the 21st century by The Guardian.
Harvest was filmed entirely on location in Oban and the Western Highlands.
The film will have all of its dialogue subtitled, this is at the request of the filmmaker.

Nurse Floria works with passion and professionalism in the surgical ward of a Swiss hospital. Her every move is perfect. She has an open ear for patients, even in the most stressful situations, and is immediately on hand in an emergency – ideally.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Floria looks after a seriously ill young mother and an old man desperately waiting for his diagnosis with the same care and routine as a private patient with extra demands. But as the night progresses, her work becomes more and more of a race against time.
