Summary
The most spoiler-free summary I could provide, if you haven't seen the film, is...
Members of an isolated village in Pennsylvania encounter situations that challenge their way of life.
Hopefully, that doesn't give away too much. ;) In all seriousness, this film is full of so many twists and turns that it's close to impossible to answer the question, "what's it about?" without either giving away too much, or being as vague as I was above.

Brilliant Analysis
I came across this fantastic analysis of The Village, written by Dag Sodtholt. It is so much better than anything I could ever have the time or motivation to write. Simply fantastic.
