Joseph Svenden is a middle-aged schoolteacher who lives on a farm with his dying mother. In his simple life there is no excitement, even in his long-time relationship with a widow. However, when a beautiful 17-year-old girl enrolls in his class, life takes an unexpected turn. She boards her horse in his barn, and they flirt.
