The World to Come is a spare, lyrical 19th‑century frontier drama about longing, duty, and the price of love. Set in a harsh rural landscape, two women forge a tender, dangerous bond that unsettles the norms of their households and tests the trust of the men who love them. As desire and fear collide, lives are altered in quiet, intimate ways, with restrained performances and stark, beautiful imagery driving a meditation on belonging.
