Casually cosmic and seriously fanciful, this Academy Award Winner reconceives modern history from the vantage point of five generations of independent Dutch women. The story begins in 1945 with a fortyish Antonia returning to the war-torn village of her birth. Over the years,a quiet but profound revolution takes place: Antonia's farm becomes the center of a utopia, based on common sense and tolerance.
