Sweet Land is a love story. Inge, played by Elizabeth Reaser arrives in the United States into not so welcoming arms. The small farm community in which her future husband Olaf, played by Tim Guinee, lives is unsettled by the fact that she is a German World War I refugee. Besides the unrest in the community, there are also many other factors preventing their marriage, including language and proper documents. The process of overcoming these obstacles alienates them from the community leaving them to harvest their crop completely by hand and alone. This particular harvest season brought not only work, but love as well. One could say their love grew from a seed burried in the ground to something miraculous that you'd never expect; not unlike the crops they raised.

As of October 13, 2006 Sweet Land is currently in theaters across the nation.
