In the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic, the film follows naturalist Zoe Lucas, who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island's shores. This award-winning film is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit.
