Derek vs Derek
8.0
“A funny film about a serious issue, restore nature or produce food?”
The idyllic English countryside. An intensive dairy farmer called Derek. One day his neighbour, also called Derek, forsakes farming tradition and starts to turn his land over to wild nature. How does the community react when one of it’s own turns his back on their way of life?
