The film depicts a Cree woman (Skeena Reece) crying and singing a sad traditional song while a young girl (Ta'Kaiya Blaney) is transported to an Indian residential school (although the film is deliberately ambiguous about whether the woman is the child's mother, or the child herself reflecting on her past as an adult.)[1] At the school, however, the conventional narrative of Indian residential schools is subverted when the children perform a hip hop–inspired group dance routine in class after the teacher leaves the room.[2]
