Filming five friends for nearly fifty-years—first as free-spirited guides on the Colorado River—director Robb Moss now finds the group in their seventies grappling with the choices they’ve made as individuals and as a generation. The film interweaves moments from the distant past with those of the recent present, exploring the inexorable flow of aging and the unfinished project of living.
