In one moving scene, the two are catching fireflies under the starlit Texas sky (you remember the song). ![]() ![]() As she is learning to do with her horses, Sarah uses her Texas charm to help calm the storm raging inside of Luke. The young girl is studying to be a horse whisperer a profession Johnny soon discovers is not just in the movies. This family movie includes a bit of friendly flirting between Luke and Johnny's niece, Sarah. But instead of emphasizing this outlook as a way to become a better golfer, Johnny stresses that this is a path to becoming a better person. Through a series of ingenious and insightful lessons over the seven days, Johnny teaches Luke his own personal philosophy, S.F.T., which he writes on a golf ball in permanent marker - See Feel Trust. “I need to know why you do the things you do,” Johnny says as the lessons begin the following morning. Johnny invites Luke to stay in Utopia for seven days to try to find the answer to every sportsman's greatest question: "How could a game have such an affect on a man's soul?" Johnny reveals that he too was once a professional golfer, and like Luke, he had his meltdowns. Later that day, Johnny watches Luke's meltdown on national television and sees a little bit of himself in the hotheaded golfer. Johnny takes Luke into town and sets him up in his rustic motel. There he meets a wise old rancher named Johnny Crawford (Duvall), who enters Luke's life on horseback - the first clue as to the tone of this homespun tale. Luke tries to escape the embarrassment of his worst day on the course by driving to no where. In the midst of Luke's meltdown, his somewhat domineering dad (Joseph Lyle Taylor), who is also his caddy, walks away from his son on live television. Seven Days in Utopia follows aspiring golf pro Luke Chisholm (Black) as he explodes in a fury under the pressure of missing numerous shots on the final hole of a televised tournament where he had hoped to earn his pro card. The cast is rounded out by Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, veteran character actress Kathy Baker, and Deborah Ann Woll. In life, everyone comes to the point of crisis where they are faced with the question, "What am I living for?" This is the central question of the new faith-based drama, Seven Days in Utopia, starring the legendary, Academy Award winner Robert Duvall and Lucas Black.
