Sweet Land

DramaRomance110 min

In 1920, Inge leaves Germany for rural Minnesota to marry a Norwegian farmer she has never met. Elizabeth Reaser is the newcomer at the center, arriving to an arranged match that quickly runs into citizenship rules, church objections, and suspicion from the surrounding community. Opposite her, Tim Guinee’s farmer is a quiet presence in a place where custom and public opinion carry as much weight as the law. The story unfolds among wheat fields, farmhouse chores, and wedding plans, with romance tied closely to questions of belonging, language, and what a small town will or won’t accept.
