A good day in Sharnford. God Speed the Plough!
Directed by Michele Trentini
Synopsis
In the heart of Ye Olde England, the first Monday after the Epiphany is still “Plough Monday”, with the ritual parading of a decorated plough and the Morris Dance.
This film is part of **Carnival King of Europe DVD 4 SPEEDING THE PLOUGH**. An old plough is the protagonist of the ancient masquerade in a number of European settings, where some explicit reference to ancient agrarian rituals is brought into play.
