The film is based on the original work of William Faulkner. The story describes a decadent and lifeless rich man in the small town of Michigan in the south of the United States. The whole situation changed when a tough young tenant broke into his life. This film is a very strong literary and artistic film, director Martin Ritter is very successful in creating the atmosphere, and the characterization of several protagonists is also very deep and powerful, but the ending is a bit discouraging. In addition, the script of this film is very different from the original novel.
