South African farm life is good for sisters Em (Anneke Weidemann) and Lyndall (Kasha Kropinski) -- and for their friend Waldo (Luke Gallant), who plans to make them all rich with his sheep-shearing invention. But everything changes when coldhearted Irishman Bonaparte Blenkins (Richard E. Grant) arrives and starts throwing his weight around. This gentle family tale is based on Olive Schreiner's novel &NFi;The Story of an African Farm&NFi_;.
