Trapper Angus (Geraint Wyn Davies) in 1770's Canada takes native woman Ikwe (Hazel King) for a bride, and this way-too-short made-for-television film follows their relationship.
Lead actress King isn't very good, and the film feels chopped up. By the time the downer ending rolls around, and the musical "score" has brought on a headache, you realize that pretty scenery does not a good film make. Also known as "Daughters of the Country: Ikwe."
