Young Ones Page #6

Synopsis: Set in a near future when water has become the most precious and dwindling resource on the planet, one that dictates everything from the macro of political policy to the detailed micro of interpersonal family and romantic relationships. The land has withered into something wretched. The dust has settled on a lonely, barren planet. The hardened survivors of the loss of Earth's precious resources scrape and struggle. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives on this harsh frontier with his children, Jerome ( Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Mary (Elle Fanning) fends his farm from bandits, works the supply routes, and hopes to rejuvenate the soil. But Mary's boyfriend, Flem Lever (Nicholas Hoult), has grander designs. He wants Ernest's land for himself, and will go to any length to get it. From writer/director Jake Paltrow comes a futuristic western, told in three chapters, which inventively layers Greek tragedy over an ethereal narrative that's steeped deeply in the values of the American West.

What happened to your

father was an accident!

And Robbie, he

was just too dumb.

I feel real bad about that.

I wish I could take it all

back, but it's, it's selfish

to blame, stud.

I mean, Jerome.

Good.

Jerome.

Just no more blame.

You be the first.

No more blame.

You can't, stud.

You're good. You're g..

The heavenly touch of your embrace

tells me no one can take your place

ever in

my heart

young love,

first love

filled with

true...

don't ever be a man.

Young

love, our love...

Probably getting old

enough for a real drink.

No thanks.

What should I do?

Two days.

Where the hell is he?

I think wait.

Just wait a while.

God damn it.

There's too much

pressure on him.

Is he buying

something, selling...

Just... just doesn't make sense

him gone this long.

What do you

think's going on?

Just wait for now.

You should go

close your eyes.

That's a long trip

to the hospital?

How is momma?

It's sweet of you to go

visit her so much lately.

I'd like to see her too.

We could even move

her back in, right?

We'd have the money to build

her brace wires here now, no?

He wouldn't like that.

So I don't want to be

held to what I just said.

Okay.

Boy or girl?

Girl.

Funny, why?

I know that's what you want.
