What is the takeaway from this film based on a real true story,? It is a reminder of how small we are in the majesty of nature and how complex and unperfect life can be, and that makes it truly perfect, at some point in life you will ask yourself what it is you want, call it a spirit quest or name it as you wish, but that moment and clarity of purpose is paramount, the urge to get there is just as strong as the urge to breath or defecate, it is a time to mourn what can never be and what is lost for all time, but it is also the time you commit to what matters and the quality of the life only you can manifest. It is the secret only you know, and can only be revealed by you when your soul is at it's purest and that purification requires pain, from both an external and internal journey over terrain you have avoided.
