An invitation to reunite with her estranged Oglala Lakota family launches grieving young woman Tana (Lily Gladstone) on an unexpected road trip from the Midwest toward the Texas-Mexico border. In this largely solitary journey with an unknown destination, she navigates the complex, post-2016 election social climate and a natural landscape that is increasingly surreal. Along the way, she bonds with unexpected people who are as much a part of the landscape as the mountains and roads. Preceded by PARENTAL ORBIT Dir. Dara Carneol & Bernard Carneol
