Sinopse

In the summer of 1962, a group of young Native American puppeteers travel in a converted school bus from the White Earth Reservation to the Century 21 Exposition, World's Fair in Seattle, Washington. The five Natives, three young men and two young women, have endured abandonment, abuse, poverty, and find solace, humor, and courage with a mute puppeteer—a Native woman in her seventies who writes original dream songs, and creates hand puppets and ironic parleys that mock the ghosts of authority. Dummy Trout, the mute puppeteer, also figured in Native Tributes and Satie on the Seine. The troupe attends a performance of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and they create a puppet parley for Wovoka, the inspiration of the Native American Ghost Dance Religion.

    The Sun Also Rises (previously titled Fiesta) is a seminal text that established Ernest Hemmingway as part of the literary canon. Its timeless themes of love, identity, and integrity continue to speak to our hearts today. 
    In a conversation with Ernest Hemmingway, Gertrude Stein once made the comment: “You are all a lost generation.” She was referring to the young adults who struggled to find their purpose in the wake of World War I, yet showed incredible resilience against all odds. 
    Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, and their group of fellow expatriates are members of this Lost Generation. As they wander through Paris, they turn to alcohol and a series of love affairs to cope with their inner struggles. Then, they decide to go to Spain for the Fiesta de San Fermín to witness the running of the bulls. This brutal, violent sport captures their interest and becomes the backdrop for the romantic tensions that build between the characters.

    In Hitler’s Germany, loyalty is demanded and dissent is deadly. But for a young German girl named Waltraud, nothing is more devastating than the day the Nazis steal away her father and force him to fight on the front lines. Even as their reign of terror spreads, she convinces herself that war will never touch her quiet village. But when bombs start falling and innocent people disappear, she’s confronted with a stark reality… she might be next. 
    That’s because Waltraud has a secret. She’s been quietly resisting all along, and now she’s hiding someone in the barn. 
    In the end, courage and resolve aren’t enough to protect the one thing that matters most. But falling in love brings the promise of a new life in America and rekindles her hope. It also brings an agonizing choice to leave everything and everyone she holds dear behind. But first, Waltraud must cross forbidden borders where she comes face to face with an enemy even more terrifying than the Nazis. Can Waltraud let go of her haunting past and take hold of the life she’s dreamed of, or will she lose everything trying?
