FANCY DANCE
Lily Gladstone stars as a woman who journeys with her niece to find a missing family member in time for an important powwow ceremony
Description
After her sister’s disappearance, Jax (Lily Gladstone, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON) takes on the role of caring for her niece, Roki, on the Seneca-Cayuga Reservation in Oklahoma. While tirelessly searching for her missing sister, Jax faces mounting family tensions and the looming threat of losing custody of Roki to her own father, Frank (Shea Whigham).
Determined to prevent this, Jax and Roki embark on a journey across the heartland to locate Roki’s mother in time for a crucial powwow ceremony they cannot afford to miss. In her remarkable directorial debut, Erica Tremblay delves into the challenges Indigenous women confront in a colonized world and the unwavering strength they demonstrate while navigating an unforgiving justice system.
