Haida Gwaii, 1800’s. At a seasonal fishing camp two families endure conflict between the nobleman Adiits’ii and his best friend Kwa. After Adiits’ii causes the accidental death of Kwa’s son, he flees into the rainforest, descending into madness and transforming into Gaagiixid – “the Wildman.” When the families return in the spring, they discover Adiits’ii has survived the winter. Can he be rescued and returned to his humanity? Meanwhile, Kwa wrestles with his deepest desire – revenge.
""The Edge of the Knife" is the first feature film spoken in Haida, a language that is endangered in northern Canada, with only twenty speakers left in the world. With an ancient myth as a pretext, this movie not only portrays the tragedy of losing a language and all the cultural history it holds (like Mexican "Sueño en otro idioma"). This film has greater social relevance, as a testimony of an almost extinct language that persists thanks to cinema. With an original plot and stunning photography, don't miss this impressive movie selected at the Toronto Film Festival."
