NY Times Critic's Pick "A rare gem of a film that falls into an unclassifiable category." — The Playlist
Amongst the mountains of Lesotho, an 80-year-old widow winds up her affairs and makes arrangements for her burial. But when her village is threatened with resettlement due to the construction of a reservoir, she finds a new will to live and ignites a spirit of resistance within her community.
Free and open to the public.
