Set during Prohibition, Disappearances tells the story of Quebec Bill Bonhomme, an impossible dreamer and schemer who, after a freak lightning bolt destroys his barn, sets out to steal twenty cases of whiskey from Quebec’s most dangerous and notorious bootlegger. He takes along his 15 year-old son, his inscrutable brother-in-law, and his cranky hired man. Together, they cross the border into vast reaches of Canadian wilderness for three magical and action-packed days "full of terror, full of wonder.”

“Lovingly handmade…beautiful and raw…imbued with a robust charm.”

– Stephen Holden, New York Times

“A frequently mesmerizing stirringly acted frontier tale, with an exquisite sense of place.  Craven's poetic sensibility is steeped in an appreciation of nature, as well as an awareness of man's ability to exist both in harmony and at odds with it, sometimes simultaneously.” 

– Justin Chang, Variety
