Da stays a couple days, observing his father being social director, marriage counselor, and dispute mediator for his customers and a boon companion to Er. Da is caught between worlds: the decaying district of his childhood and the booming south where he now lives with a wife who's not met his family.

Young Ones (2014) Trailer

Young Ones

In a future without water vengeance will rain.

Young Ones is an 2014 American action science fiction film

directed and written by Jake Paltrow.

Watch the Trailer!

YOUNG ONES is set in a near future when water has become the most precious and dwindling resource

on the planet, one that dictates everything from the macro of political policy to the detailed micro of interpersonal family and romantic relationships. The land has withered into something wretched. The

dust has settled on a lonely, barren planet. The hardened survivors of the loss of Earth’s precious

resources scrape and struggle. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives on this harsh frontier with his

children, Jerome (Kodi Smit McPhee)and Mary (Elle Fanning). He defends his farm from bandits,

works the supply routes, and hopes to rejuvenate the soil. But Mary's boyfriend, Flem Lever

(Nicholas Hoult), has grander designs. He wants Ernest's land for himself, and will go to any

length to get it. From writer/director Jake Paltrow comes a futuristic western, told in three

chapters, which inventively layers Greek tragedy over an ethereal narrative that’s steeped

deeply in the values of the American West.
