Eve Lindley (as Sky): “You’re Dylan, right?”
Charlie plays a construction worker who works on a farm with rodeo-performing ranchers. He falls for the irresistible, Eve Lindley aka Sky.
Charlie Plummer (as Dylan): “I don’t really have time for that. I’m just usually working.”
Working the land was an eye-opening experience for them both.
Eve Lindley: “I mean, it was surprising that we were able to do it as people who didn’t grow up on farms. There’s like a synergy that happens on a ranch, that everyone’s doing their part.”
Charlie Plummer: “How little sleep a lot of these folks get given how early they have to wake up and then how much of their job is manual labor and how that can run into the late night.”
This visually stunning movie shows how following your heart is always the right move, even out west.
Eve Lindley: “There’s nothing like love. It makes the world go round.”
Eve Lindley (as Sky): “You know, there’s still love.”
