Amoosed

The director of the movie gets possessed by Moose, the ancient animal totem. She sets out on a journey searching for an answer to why it happened. She follows similarly moose-possessed (“amoosed”) people around the world. Her odyssey lasts for 7 years and takes her from rare Czech moose to Russian moose domestication attempts through Swedish moose living in people’s households to remote indigenous Canada. It turns out that it was Hana’s ancestors who led her to meet the Mikmaq first nation, who see the moose as their sacred spirit animal and who have an important message for Hana as well.
