In the poem Home Burial, Robert Frost portrays a couple's struggle to reconcile their  conflicting ways of dealing with the death of their firstborn child. She is consumed with grief and unable to let go, and he is ready to move on to find some sense of normalcy. They find themselves on two opposing sides of an emotional chasm that seems impossible to bridge. The film is the screen debut of Donald Tongue, an emerging filmmaker who produced, directed, and wrote the screenplay. The film has been selected by six film festivals and won awards for Best Short (Denver Movie Awards) and Best Cinematography (Oregon Short Film Festival). It contains the full text of Frost's poem.
