In the frozen north, a 19th century fur trapper woos a trader's daughter but is beset by woodpeckers, wolves and beavers (played by actors in furry costumes). Looney Tunes meets The Revenant with a Guy Maddin-esque retro-aesthetic in a quasi-silent movie that pulls out all the stops in an orgy of barking mad slapstick.
