Farmer Sweetland is a old and lonely widower who manages to marry again.
He likes three ladies, but they all reject him, instigated by Aramintha,
the farmer's maid who is secretely in love with her master.
Farmer seems to start thinking love is no more his business, but he realizes that
the right woman has always lived by his side. She is Aramintha herself.

Only a few lucky people could look at this film when it was edited, such as the
famous directors Eric Rohmer e Claude Chabrol, who determined that the most
interesting thing in this movie is the great and fascinating description of Welsh
countryside.
