2009: Inspired by an ancient Iroquois tale, Shelley Niro's contemporary story set on the Six Nations Reserve follows the Mohawk artist Mavis (Kateri Walker), who is still in a period of grieving for her late husband Jesse (Michael Greyeyes). In an effort to extinguish the memories that haunt her, she immerses herself in her painting.
But when an upcoming art exhibition requires Mavis to embark on a road trip in the company of Bug (Eric Schweig), she is forced into the possibilities of the here and now and the difficult task of letting go.
The film runs for approximately 90 minutes.
