Wildhood

Link, a teenager of Mi’kmaw descent, comes to terms with his sexual identity, while his already unstable life takes a rapid turn. Police catches him and his brother stealing what leads to a violent outburst from their father. Then Link finds out, that his allegedly dead mother might still be alive and the boys decide to run away from home. On the way they meet Pasmay with whom Link will have something more in common than their ethnic descent. Will, however, (fully understandable) Link’s distrust towards other people ruin the new, promising relation and the mission itself?
