SYNOPSIS 

Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her.

 

Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present.
