In the California of the Great Depression, George Milton and Lennie Small, two very different farm workers, share a dream: to save enough to buy a small farm and live off the land. George, intelligent and astute, is in charge of protecting Lennie, a large man with a mental disability and enormous strength, but with the innocence of a child. Their journey through the labor camps is full of hope and camaraderie, but also of dangers and the harsh reality of a society that marginalizes the weak. Loyalty and friendship are put to the test in this moving story about the search for a place in the world and the fragility of dreams.
