Description

Alma is a whale specialist on her final field mission before being forced into an early retirement. Accompanied by Sadie, fresh out of college and recovering from her first heartbreak, they pursue the crippled whale, Luna, on her final journey across the North Atlantic ocean to her birthplace. Alma and Sadie are tasked with tracking her until the very end, hoping that she really will make it home one last time. Sofar is about endings and last times. It is also about all the beginnings we sometimes forget to notice and appreciating all the time we really had.
