Etta and Otto and Russell and James

In this poignant debut, eighty-three-year-old Etta embarks on a transformative journey from rural Saskatchewan to the ocean, accompanied only by a rifle, chocolate, and her boots. Leaving behind a note for her husband Otto, who grapples with memories of their past and the struggles of his present, Etta's adventure intertwines with that of their neighbor Russell, who has long harbored feelings for her. As the narrative shifts between the stark beauty of the Canadian landscape and haunting recollections of love and loss, "Etta and Otto and Russell and James" explores themes of self-discovery, longing, and the complexities of human connection.
