The Keeper

Synopsis

A laird in Scotland, who presides over a palace and 4500-acre estate, is attempting to redress the imbalance of land ownership in Britain by handing it over to the community. This film follows his journey as he grapples with his own egalitarian ideals and the inevitable friction that comes with huge upheaval.
