A contemplative psychoanalytic dialogue between a traumatized Native American veteran and an eccentric psychiatrist, exploring identity, cultural displacement, and the possibility of healing through conversation.

At the end of WWII, Jimmy Picard, a Native American Blackfoot who fought in France, suffers from unexplainable symptoms and is admitted to a military hospital. When doctors suspect schizophrenia, an eccentric psychoanalyst takes up the case and starts a conversation with the veteran.
