The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open

  Kathleen Hepburn & Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers  |  Canada  |  2019

Áila encounters Rosie on a rainy Vancouver street—pregnant, barefoot, sobbing and fleeing domestic abuse. Compelled to help her, she offers her home as refuge. Over the course of a single day, the two connect, unpack Rosie’s traumas, and form an intimate bond. Shot in “real time” with an eye for delicate detail, this tender drama explores ideas of motherhood, self-care, and the drastically different lives of two Indigenous women.
