At the Big Water Film Festival we've received- and shown- lots of films over the years about water quality, water pollution, water scarcity, water management-- a lot of people read our name as a big film festival about water, even though it's really a reference to the Big Water we live next to, Gitchi Gami, Lake Superior. The double meaning is apt, since living where we do we are very conscious of the role of water in life. But this film takes all that a step further, to look at a woman in whom the water around her lives, who feels its very vibrations, who is inseparable from water, and who can apply this unique sensitivity to siting wells as a dowser. But her granddaughter knows nothing of this until she visits. Shot in and around Treviso, Italy, a city of canals, the location itself speaks to the main characters' connection to water.
