A Spanish-Canadian-French drama; A story about a documentary filmmaker accompanying a falconer who sets out across a frozen landscape to find his mother, a faith healer, whom he hasn't seen in many years. This is a film that never takes flight. Its ethereal meditation and ponderous tone is at the expense of character development. The result is a long-winded, inaccessible drama lacking impetus. It's difficult for the viewer to make an emotional connection with any of the people when the film's plot that catches up later in the film.
