After their home life is turned upside down three children and the family's donkeys escape across the backbone of Northern England, confronting both the harsh landscapes and what it means to be siblings. A throwback to classic children's adventure films but with a modern aesthetic.

After their father's brother returns after a five year prison sentence, three children sense the family history their father has kept hidden. Tense circumstances lead to the eldest, Angie, to take her siblings and two of their donkeys on a journey across the Yorkshire Moors. The film explores many themes, set against the beautiful Northern backdrop. With outstanding performances, especially the young lead, honest dialog and nicely balanced tension and pace.—simon_sanos
