A door to a little known community
This film shines a little on a community that we very rarely see in American films. A community of people who live a nomadic lifestyle. Fern, the main character, has embraced this lifestyle due to economic circumstances and family tragedy.
We discover that Fern always had a restless spirit, as expressed by her sister when he visits her. Marriage only anchored her for a short while. Fern is totally at home when she is on the road travelling across America. This film reminds me of the Harrison Ford thriller, Witness, another depiction of a community that rejected the American mainstream.
