SYNOPSIS
Reeling from a devastating loss, Tana (Lily Gladstone) is pulled back into the world by an unexpected invitation to her cousin’s wedding. She packs up her late grandmother’s Cadillac and hits the open road, driving from her home in Minnesota to South Dakota. After reconnecting with her Oglala Lakota family, Tana sets off to retrace a surreal journey that her grandmother took decades ago, searching for the spot captured in an old family photograph. As she travels, Tana finds connection in the stories of everyday people who’ve settled down far off the main roads including Isaac (Raymond Lee), who provides a pivotal clue to understanding the lost location that could cultivate closure. A personal reverie summoned from a beguiling mix of fact and fiction; THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY is an arresting debut feature from Morrisa Maltz.

REVIEWS
“The Unknown Country is a poetically whispered dreamscape where self and place collide on a seemingly never-ending highway.”
“[THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY] puts us in the presence of a major talent, bearing something profound in her artistic inclinations.”
“A different kind of journey takes place through the center of the United States in Morrisa Maltz’s experimentally fascinating The Unknown Country, anchored by another stellar turn from the great Lily Gladstone (Certain Women).”
