Desc: Mending Wall: Directed by Julian Higgins. With David Fraioli, Terrence Ortwein, Matt Hershenson, Noah Forman. Mending Wall is set in a northern New England town, where one morning the local handyman wakes up to find that his cows have escaped through a hole in the fence. The disappearances cause all the simmering conflicts in the town to come bubbling to the surface. Mending Wall is a parable about life and loss in the American heartland.
