[Plays Oct. 21 at 12:00 p.m. as part of the 14th annual Twin Cities Film Festival that runs Oct. 19-28 at the Showplace ICON Theaters and Kitchen at The Shops at West End; for more information, log on to www.twincitiesfilmfest.org.] Rhiana Yazzie's quirky, low-key, realistic, slow-paced, small-budget, 92-minute, 2021 film in which a struggling 35-year-old Navajo singer-songwriter (Rhiana Yazzie), whose mother lives on a reservation in New Mexico, helps young students in Minneapolis, looks for a meaningful direction in her life, falls for an oddball 25-year-old Lakota law school dropout (Brian Watson) during a freezing Minnesota winter, and finally opens a pie cafe where she can sing and play her guitar.
