These films capture the brief pause in time between mourning what was and awaiting what is to come.<br /> <br /> Rated:G Suitable for all audiences.
A couple mourn the tragic loss of a child. Isolated in the harsh conditions of the desert landscape, they try to overcome the pain and come to terms with their grief. A story of two solitary quests for reconciliation and survival.
