House After is an Indigenous story that takes place in the 1940s in the middle of the second world war in a cabin on the west coast of Canada. We follow a grieving widow and her child as they experience the duality of living an Indigenous life and the
pressures of conformity from the church.

Aks, the mother, and protagonist of the film, battles her coping addictions while trying to raise her child in a house that is learning to live without a father. However, Aks succumbs to her addictions as she believes she sees her dead husband, which ultimately pushes her child away.
