A rich farmer is well known for being very unkind. He's misanthropic, misogynous and cantankerous. Until he meets by chance a gorgeous girl...
A Lithuanian romantic comedy following a familiar 'lone wolf softened by love' arc with little cinematographic ambition. The premise of a cantankerous wealthy farmer reformed by a beautiful woman is well-worn territory, earning modest marks for novelty and visual style. Acting and plot are serviceable for the genre, and the ending follows genre conventions without surprising the audience.
