Deep to Native Heart And where on the head of this Christian from Oklahoma fell France, a lesbian daughter in a Marseille prison and the elusive Akim, implicated according to her daughter in a murder she did not commit? A simple oilman Bill, embodied on the screen by Matt Damon, fights for justice for his daughter in an environment where no lawyer can help her. Taking the investigation into the hands of a tourist in a country with incomprehensible language, and not to break any laws, is an impossible mission. Bill, who compares his work to the work of a worm gnawing into the ground, is similarly looking for a way to solve the problem, learning to bypass the hard rocks of the cultural gap with French intellectuals and soften the rock of the European female heart with the father’s care for her daughter.
Bill is always tense during the French voyage-drilling and organically looks only as a father. But not his native Allison, but a small football fan Maya, whom he looks after with pleasure. As if filling the years of emptiness from a lost family, for which it was not possible to calm down with alcohol.
Underneath a different old-world landscape, Bill finds the same human breed of Trump opponents, racists, migrants and youth starting each day with a new leaf. And somewhere beneath that mass is Ellison's heart nugget. Who one day, after years of falling asleep with accusations and resentments, will bare himself with a direct question: "Dad, what is wrong with us?" And he'll apologize, and he'll hear the same request in return, while an oil rig is slowly working outside the window in the quietness of the autumn Oklahoma wasteland. In a special silence, which is reflected only at the depths of a tired heart, who wants to be healed by the quiet water of life.
