The short tells the story of a young Hopi woman facing displacement in a changing landscape, threatening her connection to the land and her family. However, her kinship with a Lobo and her call toward community guide her on an incredible journey to a sacred place called "home." The film tells the story of her journey, the displacement of Tribal people and Lobos, and the parallels between the two.
