Description

In a small Saskatchewan prairie town, two teenaged girls, one shy and awkward and the other more confident, are picked up at the local burger joint by a couple of guys who work the oil rigs. Heading out to the Great Sandhills, a desert-like area that stretches as far as the eye can see, they split into pairs, revealing their inner selves against the backdrop of a breathtakingly barren landscape. KM

Lea Nakonechny grew up in Rush Lake, Saskatch- ewan. She has directed the documentary Two Museums (05) and the short film Edge of the Desert (09).
