This is the story of two old friends, who reunite for a weekend camping trip in the Cascade mountain range east of Portland, Oregon. For Mark, the weekend outing offers a respite from the pressure of imminent fatherhood; for Kurt, it is part of a long series of carefree adventures.. As the hours progress and the landscape evolves, they move through a range of subtle emotions, enacting a pilgrimage of mutual confusion, sudden insight, and spiritual battle. When they arrive at their final destination, a hot spring in an old growth forest, they must either confront the divergent paths they have taken, or somehow transcend their growing tensions.. Winner of the Producers Award and nominated for the John Cassavetes Award at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. Winner of the Tiger Award at Rotterdam International Film Festival. Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival.. "Such watchful reticence takes a bold, confident filmmaker." - Jessica Winter, Time Out. "A triumph of modesty and of seriousness that also happens to be one of the finest American films of the year. There is a universal aspect to this story about memory and loss, and how we use the past to take refuge from the present." - The New York Times
