Gospel According to Harry (1994)

Years before the Lord of the Rings trilogy catapulted him to international superstardom, Viggo Mortenson (Eastern Promises, a History of Violence) played Wes, a young husband locked in co-dependent discontent with his beautiful and needy wife Karen (Jennifer Rubin, the Doors). Their future prospects as barren as the sun-bleached dunes that are the surreal setting for their one room existence, Wes and Karen go through the dehumanizing motions of a modern life in which happiness is as ephemeral and elusive as the grains of sand beneath their feet.
