THE FOX
2 F / 1 M
A drama based on the short novel by D. H. Lawrence. This is the rare adaptation that honours its source – while having the guts to depart from it. Two English women in their 30’s are struggling to run an isolated farm, because the hens have stopped lying eggs and the henhouse is being raided by a fox. Enter a young soldier who is such an engaging and capable fellow that he is invited to stay on as a hired hand. Who is this mysterious man who eventually dominates life on the farm?
