Rebel Song (15m, United Kingdom)
dir. by Simon Arthur
Starring: James Grant, Jeff Rudom and Alyth McCormack
Synopsis:
A farmer who is too infirm to farm, and too old to make love, grows to hate his youthful
wife. Her beauty, her life and love of it, are cause for hatred in him. He wants to abuse
her, break her down and rub her in the dirt, so he’ll be the cockrel, and she the hen. And
so he bribes the biggest, ugliest, hulking gorilla of a man he can find, to chop down the
trees, and tear up his wife. But this man has the mind of a child, he doesn’t understand
concepts of sex, psychology or superiority. And so the farmer has to try and train him to
treat his wife well, give her what she needs, and whether she wants it or not. The
farmer, who is frail in body and struggles to walk, conquers both of them, purely
because they are too weak-minded to fight back or even just walk away. They’re
convinced they need him to survive, that they’re the ones who are selfish, and they’re
letting the farmer down. Yet, as the man and wife become increasingly terrorised, they
form a child-like bond, whispering thoughts of escape together, out of the forest.
