Synopsis
A beautiful, haunting story of an idyllic pastoral dream, meticulously directed by Terrence Malick (Badlands) with music by Ennio Morricone (Oscar nominee Original Score).

Golden Globe winner Richard Gere stars as a young millhand who, with his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and thousands of others, flees the industrial north to become sharecroppers in the golden wheat fields of World War I Texas. There, they get caught up in an emotional love triangle with their ailing employer (Sam Shepard).

The glorious locations filmed by Nestor Almendros, who won an Oscar for Best Cinematography, are to be found in Alberta Canada.

TRIVIA: The film's title refers to Deuteronomy 11:21 - "That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them as the days of heaven upon the earth."; shot almost entirely early in the morning and late in the evening - Terrence Malick wanted to have a white sky and no sight of the sun; Malick spent two whole years editing this film.
