Harvest Home (2009 film)
''Harvest Home'' is a short film written and directed by Austin filmmaker Craig Whitney and starring Diane Hruska and Scott Bate.〔Ealy, Charles. ("Local filmmaker takes short to Cannes Market" ). ''Austin American-Statesman''. May 10, 2009.〕 The film was produced in 2008 in association with Better Archangel Pictures, and was screened in May 2009 at the Cannes Short Film Corner.〔(Harvest Home ) at Short Film Corner〕
Inspired by the family chamber dramas of Yasujirō Ozu and the analytical depictions of modern life in the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, ''Harvest Home'' offers a lyrical and plaintive examination of growing old and enduring life's everyday tragedies in the midst of contemporary society, and the mysterious dichotomy that exists between the tragedy and the banality of our daily misfortunes.
==Plot==
Emotionally uprooted after the recent death of her husband, Esther Kern (Diane Hruska) is trying to return to normal life after completing her ''shiva''—a weeklong period of family mourning mandated in the Jewish religion.〔Wilson, Ken. ("Austinite returns from Cannes Film Festival" ). KEYE-TV. June 7, 2009.〕 Mrs. Kern's children—a successful ophthalmologist and the wife of a busy businessman—have long since moved away to start families of their own, setting aside the traditions of the Jewish faith which she so cherishes for the concerns of daily life.
Tentatively embarking upon her reentry into the world, Mrs. Kern is visited by a cable repairman (Scott Bate), who has come to her house to fix a problem with her reception. Deprived of her lifetime role as both wife and mother, she tries to forge an emotional connection with this stranger—telling stories about her family and bringing him cake and coffee—all in an effort to fill the void left by her recent loss. But unsure of what to make of this unexpected situation, the repairman is at once taken aback and drawn in by the residue of the tragedy that lingers in the home.〔("Austin, Texas Writer / Director Craig Whitney Talks About His Short Film “Harvest Home” and His Journey To the Cannes Film Festival" ).
