In the opening film of this year's festival, director Ryan Ward further develops the story of Sonny (Ward), who is battling Tourette's Syndrome and, along with his 12-year-old daughter Hildie (Nyah Perkin), is trying to escape his past. But Hildie longs for a normal family life, so she befriends a bunch of outcasts in the wilderness. Little does she know, however, that her new friends want to exploit the supernatural powers her father is so desperate to hide from the world. This slow-moving, beautiful, melancholic film about the fragility of man and the relationship between father and daughter will touch you right at the heart.
