ANGELIKA’S NOTE

An emotional and fantastical journey within the dream-state of a sick eight-year-old orphan about the evacuation of a town to make room for the building of a dam. Directed by Michael Polish (TWIN FALLS IDAHO, JACKPOT, BIG SUR) and starring Duel Farnes and Nick Nolte (WARRIOR, AFFLICTION, THE PRINCE OF TIDES), NORTHFORK is sure to tug at the heartstrings. The Chicago Sun-Times raves, "The movie is visionary and elegiac, more a fable than a story, and frame by frame, it looks like a portfolio of spaces so wide, so open, that men must wonder if they have a role beneath such indifferent skies."

SYNOPSIS

It’s 1955 and industries are booming as America undergoes a postwar metamorphosis. However, in the small town of Northfork, the townspeople are being evacuated because of the construction of a dam that will wash away their homes. A group of trench-coat-wearing government employees, hired to get rid of the proud few who remain, go about the business of destroying lives with efficiency. Meanwhile, a young orphan boy lies sick in bed, being cared for by a devoted priest. The boy’s fever dreams include fantastic beings that might be angels… but are they simply in his head?
