The Jarjeau family has been farmers for generations. Both father and son work on the farm, but the son is on the verge of a breakdown. He has debts and the father does not make life easier. Despite his love for his wife and children, Pierre feels that he is sinking into the abyss. In The Name of the Land is a French rural drama about the struggle for survival in a farming family that has existed for generations. But the new times are demanding, as are the relationships within the family. ”’The Name of the Land’ is sad, strongly touching and painfully realistic," writes Ulrika Köpsén on Filmeye.
