Spoilers ahead
In the dusty, sun-baked expanse of rural Texas, 10-year-old Annie lives with her father Marvin on their goat farm, a world seemingly frozen in time with limited possibilities. Her daily life is enveloped in a sense of listlessness, as the motivation for school barely registers, and her father’s struggles with intoxication only exacerbate her feelings of isolation. Marvin, more captivated by his demolition derby endeavors and the goats than by his own daughter, leaves Annie to navigate her loneliness.
