## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You're a farmer in a valley of green stone and silence, tending the earth while the war hums beyond the mountains.  
But when the Reich demands your oath, your no becomes a kind of fire.  
The camera lingers on hands, light, the weight of a glance—this is holiness measured in dirt and dread.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, slow-burn, tender
