D. H. Lawrence's The Fox

Late 1918, rural England and the war is over.
Two women struggle to run a small farm. They accept their humdrum, unfulfilling lives in bleak times, but this status quo is disrupted by two visitors - a fox and a soldier. These seemingly unrelated events combine and clash with unexpected consequences. In a fierce battle of wills, human and animal, body and spirit, Lawrence explores the dynamics of power and gender when instincts are triggered that are as old as life itself. As the story unfolds, making do in austere times is replaced by challenges that are much harder to face. The audience is also challenged as it must deal with, and decide on, Lawrence’s divisive views on life and on love.
