This movie takes place in a remote Alaskan village, in a landscape that is bleak and stunning at the same time. Two lonely souls-both outsiders, in a sense-meet here and slowly fall in love. One is a native of East Germany who works as the village librarian. The other is a young transgender man, abandoned at birth, obsessed with finding his biological parents. There is also an excellent supporting cast portraying the people who live in this small town, fighting the rough environment and finding happiness and fun where they can. The plot is filled with twists, sadness, and even comedy-and the Alaskan scenery is breathtaking.
