Logline

A world premiere: An atmospheric and touching film about the healing powers of creativity and friendship.

Once a big name in the music business, Allen retreats to a remote cabin in the Canadian wilderness to find solitude and mourn a tragic loss. The ethereal sounds in his recording studio there should help him deal with his grief. An unexpected encounter ends Allen’s isolation, however, and gives him a new outlook.
