Spring Night, Summer Night
Carl and Jessie are half siblings who feel trapped by the existential and economic pressures of living in the small mining town of Canaan, Ohio. Their shared rebellion soon takes on the form of an illicit love affair depicted in interwoven sequences of lusty poeticism and ethnographic vĂ©ritĂ©. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the coupleâs youthful vitality and the dire realities of rural society leads to consequences both despairing and hopeful.
