The charismatic Wilfred Buck, an elder of the Cree Nation in Canada, serves as a spiritual guide for the younger generation. But behind his calm and wise exterior lies a painful past. Through archival footage and reenactments, the film portrays how his family was torn apart in the 1960s, when authorities began forcibly adopting Indigenous children. Wilfred Buck intertwines the haunting legacy of colonialism with the magic of the night sky—a journey between past and present, between earth and the constellations.
