520 | 8 | _a'The Homesman' opens in the 1850s, when early pioneers are doing anything they can to survive dreadful conditions. Women especially struggle with broken hearts and minds as they face bitter hardships: one 19-year-old mother loses her three children to diphtheria in three days; another woman left alone for two nights is forced to shoot wolves to protect herself. The situation calls for a homesman - a person charged with taking these women, driven mad by the conditions of rural life, to asylums in the East. | |
