English Summary:

The Ballad of Jack and Rose is a 2005 drama film written and directed by Rebecca Miller, and starring her husband Daniel Day-Lewis; it also stars Camilla Belle, Catherine Keener, Paul Dano, Ryan McDonald, Jason Lee, Jena Malone, Susanna Thompson and Beau Bridges. The film tells the story of an environmentalist and his teenage daughter who live on a secluded island commune. It was filmed in Rock Barra, Prince Edward Island, Canada and in New Milford, Connecticut.

Jack Slavin, a Scottish farmer with a heart ailment, lives on an island which had been a hippie commune decades before. He is struggling to keep landowners from building developments on the wetland. His teenaged daughter Rose is a beautiful but isolated girl with a passion for gardening. Since Rose's mother had left the family, Jack homeschooled his daughter and did not expose her to life beyond their small island home.

Jack believes that they both "need a woman around." He travels to the mainland to ask his girlfriend Kathleen to move in with them. Jack breaks the news to a shocked Rose, from whom he had kept his relationship a secret. Rose remains disdainful when Kathleen and her two teenage sons move in. Kathleen struggles to adapt to the Slavin's rural lifestyle. Her sons, Rodney and Thaddius, are almost polar opposites; Thaddius is a sullen, rude delinquent, while Rodney is insecure and often overlooked.

Hungarian Summary:

Jack és 16 éves lánya, Rose egy szigeten élnek egy szép napokat látott volt hippi kolónia területén. Sok idő telt el azóta, hogy Jack idejött. Előbb a barátok álltak odébb, majd Rose anyja is elhagyta a szabadság és a "civilizált világ" kizárásának eme szinte utolsó zugát. Jack és Rose azonban nagy egyetértésben élik mindennapjaikat. Idilli életük azonban teljesen felborul, amikor Jackről kiderül, hogy halálos beteg és ő rettegni kezd, hogy mi lesz majd Rose-zal, ha teljesen magára marad. Megoldásként odaköltözteti a házba az eddig gondosan titkolt szeretőjét és annak két fiát. Rose döbbenten figyeli, ahogy a kis védett világa darabjaira esik szét, miközben a kamaszkor megfogalmazhatatlan érzései vel is meg kéne bírkóznia. Amikor meglátja véletlenül, hogy apja és annak barátnője szerelmeskedni készül, a féltékenység bosszúra sarkallja...
