      With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the council and community members struggle to maintain order, an unexpected visitor arrives, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after, others follow.

Guided through the chaos by an unlikely leader, they endeavour to restore order while grappling with a grave decision.

      Moon Of The Crusted Snow
    • Eine kleine indigene Gemeinschaft der Anishinaabe hatte die Zivilisation (beziehungsweise das, was von ihr übrig war) verlassen, um im Outback ihr Überleben zu sichern. Zwölf Jahre später entscheidet sie aufgrund von Versorgungsproblemen, eine kleine Gruppe auf eine viermonatige Mission Richtung Süden zu schicken. Auf dieser Expedition suchen sie nach Erklärungen, warum es zur Katastrophe in ihrem Herkunftsland kam. In verwaisten Städten und leeren Landschaften versuchen sie die zurückgelassenen Zeichen zu entschlüsseln und andere Überlebende aufzuspüren. Aber wem können sie vertrauen? Und wer vertraut ihnen? Die mutige und eigensinnige Nangoon tritt auf dieser beschwerlichen Reise voller überraschender Wendungen in die Fußstapfen ihres Vaters, des charismatischen Anführers. Sie übernimmt Traditionen und Rituale ihrer Ahnen und geht doch ihren eigenen Weg – bis zum unvorhersehbaren Ende.
