Days of Heaven

In 1916, Bill, a Chicago manual laborer, knocks down and kills a boss in the steel mill where he works. He flees to the Texas Panhandle with his girlfriend Abby and his young sister Linda. Bill and Abby pretend to be siblings to prevent gossip. The three are hired on as part of a large group of seasonal workers with a rich, shy farmer. Bill overhears a doctor apparently telling the farmer he has only a year to live, although the nature of the illness isn't specified.
