Wendy and Lucy (2009)

In her heart, young Wendy Carroll carries a dream as vast and glacial as the Alaskan landscapes she yearns for. Accompanied by her faithful canine companion, Lucy, Wendy embarks on a journey to a promising future, only to find herself marooned in a sleepy Oregon town when their antiquated car yields to decay. With her pockets near-empty and no familiar faces in sight, Wendy is plunged into the bitter realities of a life teetering on the edge of financial ruin. This tale of survival unravels as a series of increasingly desperate decisions take hold, catapulting Wendy into a world she never expected. The tantalizing vision of a lucrative summer job in a Ketchikan fish cannery begins to dissolve, replaced by the harsh glare of her present predicament. As her lifelines fray, Wendy and Lucy face a daunting struggle that tests their bond and resilience. Wendy's journey turns into a race against time when Lucy is whisked away to the pound. With the threads of her precarious existence unravelling, Wendy is forced to confront her deepest fears. Their quest for freedom and a better life becomes a heart-wrenching odyssey, underscored by the stark contrast between their humble reality and the elusive Alaskan dream. Will Wendy and Lucy overcome the hurdles that fate has so mercilessly thrown their way?
