 Its the summer of 1910 and in the small country town of Turalla the young polio stricken Alan Marshall (Alexander Outhred) is on the cusp of teenage hood, dreaming of becoming a great horseman just like the town's hero, East Driscoll (Crowe).
When East commences a passionate affair with Grace McAlister (Rampling), a married and much older aristocratic Englishwoman, Alan witnesses the backlash from a hard, cruel society with strict social taboos and even harsher penalties.
Hammers Over The Anvil is the inspirational story of that summer, a time when young Alan learned a lesson that would ultimately shape the rest of his life - that the blows that life deals us make us stronger...or destroy us.
From the producer or The Heartbreak Kid comes this unforgettable story of passion, courage and a boy taking his first steps towards manhood. |
