A six-year-old boy of divorced parents spends a weekend at his dad’s farm. Not knowing how to connect with his son, the father goes about his day working and treating the boy as any other farmhand. When they come across the mother’s seriously wounded horse they finally find a way to connect as they carefully go through the process of putting the horse out of its misery.
