A slow moving film that takes place in Newfoundland, Canada. It follows Quolye who is sees himself as a failure in all things. When his wife dies and he moves back to the land of his ancestors with his aunt, he discovers the gift of being a small town journalist who reports on car crashes and boats in the harbor. He soon learns more about his heritage, which both helps him see himself more truthfully, as well as to understand his own brokenness and the hope for healing that lies ahead of him. He comes to understand the past as important to the present but that the future has all sort of hope for rebuilding. It is an interesting story of the tension of living in the truly present between the past and the future. The musical score features traditional Canadian east coast music, fiddle and all.
