A grieving woman embarks on a road trip through the American Midwest after receiving an unexpected invitation to reunite with her estranged Oglala Lakota family. Along the way, she uncovers her family history and a path to closure.

In this poetic romance-for-life, a path is forged not only for the construction of contemporary cinema but also the experience of life’s journey on the whole.

Dir/Scr MORISSA MALTZ assembled a council of women Lily Gladstone, Lainey Bearkiller Shangreaux, and Vanara Taing to devise and perform the story of The Unknown Country.
