The Ends of the Earth


Synopsis

Daniel, a bright young geologist is sent to build a dam in an unnamed Balkan state. Caught in a battle between upland and valley people, he’s also torn by the grave illness of his 5-month-old daughter and the pleas of his wife Cathy. He’s sincere, but nervous, and comes to lose it as his marriage, his family and his job disintegrate around him, slipping into a tortured introspection and even believing that he can save his kid by quitting smoking.
