Kresten is on the threshold of great career success. But when the death of his father takes him back to his poverty-stricken childhood home, his career plans fall apart. For one thing, he has to care for his retarded brother; for another, he has to deal with a charming woman who conceals her true identity.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
With the filmmaking techniques pared to the bone, it is left to the actors to bring the scenes alive - and they do, often brilliantly.
