Overview

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dreamlike meditation on loss and grace set against an inevitable apocalypse, where reality and fever blur into something haunting and oddly hopeful. Northfork moves at the speed of prayer and vision, asking what we owe each other as the world ends.
