About the film
On a country road in Devon, England, live two implacably opposed neighbouring farmers, both called Derek. One believes in intensive farming, the other is giving his entire farm over to nature. As tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land is transformed, the film charts the two Derek's often funny turbulent relationship.
