Synopsis

The tough lives of traditional farming families and the harsh gloriousness of the West Yorkshire landscape offer an inspiring  backdrop to a poignant story of love and self-discovery in British writer-director Francis Lee’s feature debut, God’s Own Country. Johnny Saxby is a repressed gay man in his early 20’s living a dull existence with his grandmother and father, who – left debilitated by a stroke – entrusted the sheep farm to him. But Johnny is only interested in nightly drinking binges and occasional sex encounters. Thanks to the arrival in town of handsome Gheorghe, a Romanian itinerant worker who, although finds a strong resistance in Johnny, at first, is able to make him discover love for himself, for nature and for life.
