Directed by Mike Cheslik | USA | 108 mins

A slapstick epic about a frostbitten battle between JEAN KAYAK and DIABOLICAL BEAVERS—hundreds of them—who stand between him and survival.

In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become the greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.

Rated PG for violence, and tobacco and alcohol use.

Part of our ongoing Contemporary World Cinema Series.
