Overview
The Fox is a drama of three-cornered love set in the austere
north of England at the end of WWI. Two young women have been living on a farm,
working it as best they can, and wondering if they can survive another harsh
winter. A young soldier, who claims to have lived on the farm with his
grandfather years earlier, arrives. He kills the fox that has been preying on
their livestock and gets their hens laying again, but while putting everything
back in order he also begins to come between these two women who have lived and
dreamed together for years. The tug of war between these three builds to a
primordial battle of wills, sexuality, dominance and finally violence.
