High in the Mountains on a secluded farm a widowed mother dies leaving her two children alone and or-phaned. Fearing being taken away and split up they keep their mother’s death a secret and survive off the land with no one to rely on but each other. The sixteen year old sister (Lowe) is one with nature, innocent, and una-ware of the evils that exist in mankind. Her ten year old brother is traumatized and mute from witnessing a disturbing incident years earlier (the death of his father) involving the town’s Mayor (Stormare). As the girl transitions into womanhood a harsh brutality destroys her innocence when savage hunters (Skarsgard and Uh-lenbrock) led by the Mayor’s son (Vauramo) attack and rape her. A social worker (Bejhed) from a distant city arrives to investigate but ultimately it is the siblings who must come of age to protect each other and survive.

Doc Pomus was the most unlikely of rock & roll icons. Paralyzed with polio as a child, Brooklyn-born Jerome Felder reinvented himself first as a blues singer, calling himself Doc Pomus, then as a songwriter, creating ‘Save the Last Dance for Me,’ ‘This Magic Moment,’ ‘A Teen-ager in Love,’ ‘Viva Las Vegas,’ and a thousand other songs. Doc was confined to crutches and a wheelchair, but he lived more during his sixty-five years than oth-ers could experience in several lifetimes. Packed with incomparable music and rare archival imagery, this emotionally gripping film features interviews with Dr. John, Ben E. King, Joan Osborne, Shawn Colvin, Dion, Leiber and Stoller, and B.B. King. Doc’s powerful jour-nals are read in the film by his close friend, Lou Reed.
