Debra Granik : 2018
Will cannot get the trauma of war out of his head, so he has cut himself and his daughter Tom off from civilisation. They live a perfect but mysterious existence in Forest Park, a beautiful nature reserve near Portland, Oregon, rarely making contact with the outside world. Under the sky, with the animals, they drink rain water, pick mushrooms, make fires, and are satisfied with each other's company – almost. In her teenage years, Tom is developing a desire to live in different surroundings, with different people. A small mistake tips them off to the authorities, and they are plucked from their hidden world and put in the charge of social services. Struggling to adapt to their new surroundings, they embark on a perilous journey back to their wild homeland in search of a place to call their own in which the demons from Will's past cannot intrude. Debra Granik's feature premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2018, and had its European premiere at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2018.
