This fact-based drama is one of David Lynch's tamer films, but no less profound, that follows the relationship between two estranged brothers and the power of a lawnmower!

73-year-old Alvin's eyesight is poor, he has little money, and he can't stand the thought of being driven anywhere.

So, when he discovers his estranged brother has suffered a stroke, he decides to make the journey all the way from Iowa to Wisconsin by the only means of transport available to him - a John Deere lawnmower.
