A beautiful, original and quietly captivating coming of age story about a 17-year-old girl taking a backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad and his best friend.

One of the most acclaimed breakout films of the year, India Donaldson’s debut feature is an original coming of age story that shows an intuition and maturity which matches its 17-year-old protagonist. Sam (Lily Collias) embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris (James Le Gros) and his oldest friend, Matt (Danny McCarthy). The two men bicker and ruminate over mid-life crises leaving Sam to mediate the dueling egos until lines are crossed. Three beautifully modulated performances, a witty and insightful script and lovely cinematography combine to create a relatable drama with real emotional resonance.

"Writer-director India Donaldson's debut drops a young woman in the middle of a middle-aged male malaise-fest, and immediately stakes a claim as one of the best movies of the year." - David Fear, Rolling Stone
