  "description": "Reeling from a devastating loss, Tana (Lily Gladstone) is pulled back into the world by an unexpected invitation to her cousin’s wedding. She travels from her home in Minnesota to South Dakota, reconnecting with her Oglala Lakota family and retracing her late grandmother's surreal journey in search of a lost location. The film is a personal reverie summoned from a beguiling mix of fact and fiction, and an arresting debut feature from Morrisa Maltz.",
