Another good Canadian film, here's the plot, in a nutshell:
"Robert Budreau's noirish thriller That Beautiful Somewhere stars Roy Dupris as Conk Adams, a police detective still nursing psychological scars from his time in the military. When an unidentified body turns up, he must work with an archeologist (Jane McGregor) who suffers from a physical ailment. Soon the pair bond over work and their health problems, and an Aboriginal mystic offers clues to the identity of the body."~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
Above and beyond that synopsis, we find a story of wounded people on a quest for healing. The characters are dealing with themes of death and resurrection as they wade through a mystery, and they encounter First Nations' mystical notes that intrude into their thought processes and their viewpoints on life and on death. A fascinating film when you are relaxed and open to deep thinking; not a film for just pure amusement.
