Wilfred Buck, an elder of the Cree Nation, dedicated his entire life to teaching how science has always been central to indigenous ways of understanding the world. The film integrates Buck's life story with his deep knowledge of the Cree, Ojibwe and Lakota peoples' observations of the stars, told through legends, cosmologies and quantum physics. A film between past and present, between Earth and the stars, to overcome the ghosts of colonization.
