Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Tom lives with her father Will in the woods on the edge of Portland. Voluntary isolation from “normal society” allows them to create a reality of pure simple joys untainted by civilization. But one day the surrounding world rears its ugly head, and confrontation is unavoidable. Debra Granik, creator of the acclaimed Winter’s Bone, presents a picture of alternative living that might seem radical but that offers a thought-provoking gloss on Western lifestyles and values. Her comprehensive study of the bond between a father and daughter also gave actress Thomasin McKenzie the chance to excel at authentically portraying the rebellious young Tom. Leave No Trace was rightfully one of the highlights of this year’s Sundance fest.
