Mystical, intimate and profoundly moving, At the Place of Ghosts follows two estranged Mi’kmaq brothers whose childhood trauma has deeply affected their adult lives. When a malevolent spirit begins tormenting them, the siblings are forced to reunite and journey into Sk+te’kmujue’katik, a primordial forest that exists outside of time, to confront their violent upbringing. Here they must cleanse their past and face their future in a bold visual feast that combines lush mythological imagery and sincere emotional stakes.
