A community of misfits navigate the tangled cycles of life and death in the remote Canadian wilderness.
"A thoughtful, tender ode to the beauty and the reality of "going back to the land" that makes you think about our impact on the earth and our relationship to all that sustains us…. a very strong film with peace and ethics and an underlying hopefulness about our ability to adapt our way of life to something else - which is deeply needed at this time…. a profound accomplishment."
- Lisa Jackson, Filmmaker
“....a documentary that excels as much in its form as in its substance. Its meditative imagery unveils a way of life on the fringes of a collapsing world. The film offers a profound exploration of intergenerational bonds that transcend the traditional family unit, community resilience, and the raw realities of illness. All is centered around exceptional individuals who live by no one’s rules but their own. In a digital world on the brink of crisis, the film’s subjects invite us to slow down and reclaim control over our lives.”
