John Butz is a welder who gets forced out of his hometown by his fellow co-workers who go on strike. A solitary voice, he leaves his girlfriend too, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The cinematography & minimal content of this dark yet enlightening piece of cinema will enrich anyones life who sees it.
This to me is an almost religious piece especially for the ending, which is simply outstanding. Jason Adams is amazing, and I find it hard to believe this method actor never won the top film roles after this, instead acting in (amongst other parts)'Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.'
I, for one, am a huge fan of this movie & the director Rob Tregenza - still working against the constraints of mainstream American cinema.
