That Incredible State

Documentary, 75 minutes

This whimsical and energetic documentary explores the precious crossroad where notions and attitudes take shape in the mind of a child, where questions come in waves and the answers do not always make sense.

Several visual artists, writers and musicians recollect a time or an incident from their childhood that changed the way in which they looked at the world. They face some of their childhood fears again, while paddling around Saskatchewan lakes, walking across frozen dugouts, or facing the limitless, wide-open spaces of their youth. These memories are paired with the insightful, humorous and often surprising answers that kids gave to some very important questions.
