Film AdmissionsSynopsis:
Cufe Smallhill’s (Cody Lightning) father was never a man
of many words, but on this particular day he was even quieter than
usual. Realizing his father, Frankie, (Richard Ray Whitman) was
actually dead from an overdose, Cufe does the only thing his father had
always asked him to do-put his body in the family pond. So begins the
endearing, comic and universal story of love, death and listening set
among the modern traditions of the Oklahoma Indian. The film crafts a
striking image of one young man’s departure from home and family as he
faces the challenge of finding one’s place in the world. Winner of a
Special Jury Prize at the
2007 Sundance Film Festival.2007 90min. NR 35mm
* Presented in partnership with the
