A farmer organises the murder of his wife for financial benefits and convinces his son to help.
A well-made and very well-acted movie. The film shows the adverse consequences of such an action, including the pressure of the perpetrator's guilty conscience. Something doesn't fully add up though, and I think it is related to the main character having contradictory traits. The simplicity of the farmer is emphasized on various occasions and I do not think that any doubts can arise about that fact but instead the struggles of his consciousness seem unexpectedly complex, like a wisdom that you just cannot associate with the same individual.
The horror element is almost non existent so don't watch it for that.
Still a good watch.
