Synopsis: Wildhood features Lincoln, a young man in his late teens who was raised disconnected from his maternal Mi’kmaq heritage by his abusive white father Arvin. Following the discovery that his mother Sarah, whom he had long been told was dead, is in fact still alive, he takes his younger half-brother Travis on a journey to find her. En route, they meet the openly two-spirit Pasmay, who becomes both a guide to Lincoln in reconnecting with his indigenous roots and a love interest.
