Our Circle in the Storm

Synopsis
A group of climate refugees, most of whom have disabilities, have made a home of an abandoned house.

They live, cook, laugh, cry, eat, dance and work the land together, feeling like a family while feeling vulnerable to the hostile outside climate.

A wild storm arrives and one of the group has to leave.
