Change of Heart (2026)

Stepping into the role of next-generation custodian at a traditional beef operation, Maia shares her daily routine with grandmother Nora before a violent tempest completely reshapes their landscape. Environmental advocates from the surrounding community soon challenge her farming methods, triggering a wave of ecological dread as she comprehends the sheer magnitude of planetary heating. Forced to choose between defending her ancestral agricultural legacy and championing urgent sustainability, she navigates a deeply personal crossroads. This emotionally rich and lightly comedic feature examines the friction between older and younger generations, the mental strain of environmental uncertainty, and the everyday realities of rural livestock management.
