Days of Heaven

“She gave her hand to one man, but her heart to another.”

Bill (Richard Gere) kills his supervisor in a Chicago steel mill and runs, wanting only to get clear of the city with his girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams) and his little sister Linda (Linda Manz). They hire on to bring in the wheat harvest in 1916 on the Texas panhandle, working for a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard). Terrence Malick lets Abby and the farmer circle each other across the fields, and Bill watches from the edge of the work.
