Written and directed by Paul Gross, the film, which takes place before Canadian forces ended their military role in 2011, opens with a sniper team led by Ryan Sanders (Rossif Sutherland) killing a Taliban rebel who is planting an I.E.D. along a highway being built in Kandahar Province by coalition forces — the Hyena Road.

Ms. Klein and Ms. Johnson are particularly adept at rendering her dry wit and her instinctively feminist impulse to create her own spiritual and aesthetic universe, with many references to Carrington's paintings and texts, including a bird (Amanda Miller) as a familiar, a hyena (Travis Coe) pulled from the story "The Debutante," and lots of eggs.
