Farmer of the Year (2018)

In the heartland of Minnesota, 82-year-old widower and seasoned farmer, Hap Anderson, finds himself contemplating the brevity of life after selling his cherished family farm. Known amongst the locals for his charm and banter with the ladies, he decides to chase a flicker of his past and impress his former army comrades by attending his 65th WWII reunion in sunny California. He embarks on this daring journey in a rickety Winnebago, alongside his unemployed granddaughter whose vibrant self-assuredness is only matched by her sense of entitlement. As they navigate offbeat tourist spots and cross paths with a kaleidoscope of quirky characters, they find themselves grappling with seemingly insurmountable challenges, their only lifeline being their own uncertain alliance. From the simple task of cashing a Traveler's Cheque to savoring a cup of instant coffee, the voyage becomes a conduit for their evolving bond. The road unwinds not only towards their destination but also towards a deeper understanding of each other, as they discover that their personal struggles transcend the boundaries of age. Imbued with the subtle humor and reserved charm typical of the Midwest, 'Farmer of the Year' seamlessly weaves together the comedic and dramatic threads of existence.
