Smoke Signals

A stoic young Coeur d'Alene man grudgingly allows his embarrassingly nerdy friend to travel with him from their home on an Idaho reservation to Phoenix, Arizona in order to settle the affairs of his recently deceased, alcoholic father. Revelations about what it takes to be a real Native American ("Get stoic") and the truth about a childhood tragedy that unites them await on their eye-opening road trip. Irene Bedard costars in this film festival favorite.
