Sweet Clover

"A Homecoming"

Following the death of her grandmother, Jen takes her grandfather Harvey on one last trip to the Black Hills. Through Super-8mm film, archival photographs, non-synchronous audio recordings, and poetic voiceover, a near-century-old family pilgrimage is unraveled. It is an evocative, lyrical portrait of a granddaughter and grandfather's shared obsession with the American West, one complicated by Jen's mixed-blood heritage, that traces a quest to find a cultural home while evoking the contradictory landscapes of memory, nostalgia, and imagination.
