To help his alcoholic father, Charley takes a job at a racetrack, caring for the aging horse Lean on Pete. As things break down at home, he finds out that Lean on Pete is bound for slaughter—a burden too great to bear. So with his new friend in tow, Charley decides to head out into the wilderness.
A sublime literary adaptation from British filmmaker Andrew Haigh (45 Years), this intimate drama aches with a deep yearning to belong, hindered by precarious living conditions. Shot in an ever-changing Portland, intense connections and shattering losses are articulated with an unfussy simplicity.
