Description There's a touch of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf comes to the Manawatu' with the marital sniping of the older farming couple, Jim and Maddie Greene, whose son was killed in a road accident several years ago. They are deep in debt and their marriage is also proving a liability. Enter a young Russian couple cycling around New Zealand. Konstantin and Tatyana are having their own cold war but warm to the Greenes sufficiently during a farm stay to contract Jim to inseminate Tatyana. It's all downhill from there.
