synopsis

A young advertising executive travels to the remote Quebec countryside for a funeral, only to discover that no one there knows his name or the nature of his relationship with the deceased. When the deceased’s older brother forces him into a disturbing role-playing scheme designed to protect his mother and the family’s honor, a toxic relationship begins... one that will not end until the truth finally comes to light.

Tom à la ferme

Producteur, sceénariste, monteur, costumier, acteur. Dolan tient tous ces rôles dans "Tom à la ferme". Il ne manquerait plus qu’il compose la musique encore ! Un tel talent frise l’indécence !

France Info Culture

Made of equal parts mourning and melancholy, mystery, and possibly madness, the striking "Tom at the Farm" showcases Dolan’s abundant talents at turning seemingly simple material into a taut, tough film.

Indiewire

Tom à la ferme

It’s taut, creepy, compelling and sexy. And, apart from the location, it’s very much a Dolan film, focused on people testing the limits of their love for each other – and themselves.
