Notes

Description
Slowly dying of Lou Gehrigś Disease, Donald, a middle-aged Chippewa-Finnish man, begins dictating family stories he has never shared with anyone, hoping to preserve history for his children. The dignity of Donaldś death and his legacy encourages his loved ones to find a way to redeem--and let go of--the past, whether through his daughterś emersion in Chippewa religious ideas or his mourning wifeś attempt to escape the malevolent influence of her own father.
