Overview
July 1931. A farmstead near Kilmore, Southern Ireland. The country is in drought. Day after day the sun scorches the land and parches the crops. The dry East wind carries a plague of rooks and crows which plunder the fields continually. Each new day brings little hope of change...
How it feels
Eerie, bleak, dark and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
