Ách Áwé - Bears and Women

A story of small causes with great effect.

Nan tracks down an aging Tlingit clan leader in order to record stories from his dying culture, which also is her own. She is told the story of The Woman who Married the Bear , about a young woman who, by insulting a bear, triggers a series of magical events which turn her life inside out. Nan’s life is transformed as well, when her confrontation with this story becomes a critical confrontation with herself.

Ách Áwé - Bears and Women is a poetic and comic piece about the delicate balance of life and about encounters, which leave no part unaltered.
