  A young man goes to see the doctor for the first time in many years and may not be back anytime soon after his visit.

The usual (awesome) food, cider and more will be available for purchase from The Finnriver Kitchen, Dented Buoy Wood Fired Pizza, and Friendly Nettle. 

The other films to be shown are: Dancing Warrior, Climate Diaries; Heather's Story, and Love Photosynthesis.
