Four Sheets to the Wind

Four Sheets to the Wind tells the story of Cufe Smallhill, a young Native American man played by Cody Lightning, who, after his father's suicide, sinks him to the bottom of the family's pond per his request and fakes a funeral for the benefit of the town. Following the funeral Cufe moves in with his sister, Miri, played by Tamara Podemski, in Tulsa, Oklahamo and is introduced to a life, and a world, he never new existed. The film has been critically acclaimed for its portrayal of Oklahoma, its sense of humor, and the way it explores healing and connections that bind people together.
