Native American filmmaker Sterlin Harjo traces the impromptu journey taken by weathered, handsome couple Frankie and Irene as they visit the stations of their fractured relationship. Though their history has been frequently interrupted, they mean everything to one another, and this wise second feature affectionately travels Oklahoma’s roads, stopping now and then to reveal itself as one of American cinema’s most moving love stories—adult and unsentimental—to have appeared in a long time.
Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival; Winner of the Worldfest Bronze Remi Award for Creative Excellence.
