Ruth and Harriet are two women in their thirties who live in the Peace River area of northern Alberta. Both have families, and are strongly individualistic, as self-reliant as any pioneer of the past. The homestead, the river, the bush, the wildlife of the forest, their children and their men--that is what they want out of life.
This film contains scenes of animal slaughter.
