Most film goers could never understand what it would be like to live in a beautiful yet isolated part of the northern Ontario wilderness, and yet we get to appreciate some of the vastness of the countryside through the lives of the Bird family and the native people of the surrounding lands.
The two lead actors Tanaya Beatty (as Annie) and Brandon Oakes (as Will), are rarely seen on the screen together as Annie has chosen to travel to Toronto to see what is happening with her twin sister who has been absent for far longer than ever before. Will on the other hand is dealing with a bunch of drug thugs who want something that the missing twin sister who is supposedly in Toronto working as a fashion model.
Will especially reflects a man comfortable living in the northern Ontario wilderness, and unlike you or I who may take a cab or subway to travel around our neighborhood, Will takes a plane. If we want to just chill, we may order in a pizza and hunker down to watch some TV series, Will on the other hand would prefer to cover his naked body in mud, chant, then swim in the remote waters with the local marine life.
Annie after arriving in Toronto with limited funds begins to learn more about her twin sisters life and existence as a First Nations woman living in a big city like Toronto.
It's an interesting movie with a film style all its own. (Probably because their funds available do not provide the same standard as lets say a Warner Brothers release would have at their disposal).
I give the film a respectable and appreciative 7 out of 10 IMDb rating.
