A River Runs Through It

Nothing perfect lasts forever. Except in our memories.

A tender, elegiac meditation on brotherhood and the passage of time, anchored in the beauty of Montana's rivers and the bittersweet knowledge that nothing perfect endures.

The Maclean brothers, Paul and Norman, live a relatively idyllic life in rural Montana, spending much of their time fly fishing. The sons of a minister, the boys eventually part company when Norman moves east to attend college, leaving his rebellious brother to find trouble back home. When Norman finally returns, the siblings resume their fishing outings, and assess where they've been and where they're going.
