This movie was set back when Ronald Reagan was president ( - we hear him on TV) - it's about a farm family trying to make ends meet... Neighboring farmers are being foreclosed on- Gitty ( the young protagonist of the story) buys a chess set at one auction- Gitty finds a man in one of their empty silos- she doesn't say anything because he begs her not to- they become friends-she brings him food and water - he asks for really big books ( to reach a door he hopes to break through- by standing on them) there is a strange woman named Vera - we see her I believe in her true form- she is a demon- she I believe made Gitty's dad kidnap the man for ransom...I won't spoil the ending - but it's definitely worth watching....
