Description

Jessica Lange heads an extraordinary cast in this breathtaking adaptation of Willa Cather's turn-of-the-century epic saga of settlers carving a home from the wilderness and finding the dreams of a lifetime.

Alexandra Bergson is still a young woman when she inherits the family farm and struggles to carve a home and a fortune from the the windswept prairie. Because of her responsibility to the land and her younger brothers, she must give up her one chance for love - though she's never forgotten the teenager who stirred her heart, then left to find his future elsewhere. He returns fifteen years later and rekindles within Alexandra a long-buried dream and a new-found desire in this timeless masterpiece of life and love, tragedy and triumph as sweeping as the land and the settlers it portrays.
