Here's the first official UK trailer for Francis Lee's God's Own Country, originally from Empire:

Spring. Yorkshire, Northern England. Isolated young sheep farmer Johnny Saxby (Josh O'Connor) numbs his daily frustrations with binge drinking and casual sex, until the arrival of a Romanian migrant worker Gheorghe (Alec Secareanu), employed for the lambing season, ignites an intense relationship that sets Johnny on a new path. God's Own Country is directed by English filmmaker Francis Lee, making his feature directorial debut after a few successful short films previously. Lee was originally born on a farm in West Yorkshire, and worked as an actor before getting into filmmaking. This film first premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, and also played at the Berlin Film Festival and other fests. Orion Pictures releases in the US, but no date is set yet. It opens in UK cinemas this September. Who's interested in watching this?
