Wendy Carroll is driving to Ketchikan, Alaska, in hopes of a summer of lucrative work at the Northwestern Fish cannery, and the start of a new life with her dog, Lucy. When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions for herself and Lucy. WENDY AND LUCY addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people’s duty to each other in tough times.
Based on the short story “TRAIN CHOIR” by Jon Raymond.
A contemplative movie like this clears all the whirling, meaningless imagery out of our heads.

The victories and insights gained in Wendy and Lucy
are hard-won and small in stature, but they linger on the mind.
