Sauvagesse: a wild love story
by Yolanda Bonnell
Commission
In Development
In 1932, in a secluded section of their reservation, two sisters, Marie and Therese, who have recently lost their mother, work to keep their small farm running during the great depression. When a young, new Indian agent shows up and wants to help them, Marie finds herself pulled into a dangerous, wild love affair, much to the confusion and annoyance of Therese. Marie does what she can to hold true to the teachings her mother passed on to her while being swept up in desire.
