    Synopsis

    On a journey for an answer to the question, "How high is the price for a better life?", the director explores Fort McMurray in the far north of Canada, home of the largest industrial project and the third largest oil reserve on the planet. People from all over the world come here to earn sky-high salaries at the sacrifice of the environment. Film and reality collide as the director finds herself in her own personal nightmare.
