In 1927, immigrant Lillian Alling decided to walk back home from New York to her native Russia. Traveling on foot, she crossed into Canada at Niagara Falls, headed for Alaska, and continued her epic solo trek along the Bering Strait toward Russia. She was never heard from again.
Celebrated documentary filmmaker Andreas Horvath reimagines Lillian’s journey as a present-day odyssey, presenting an enigmatic road movie “that is at once a portrait of female spirit and determination and a reflection on the loneliness at the heart of America today” (Hollywood Reporter).
