Based on the multi award-winning novel, the film follows Ingrid, a seventeen-year-old navigating the complex bond with her only parent, Margot-Sophia, whose fragile mental state casts a long shadow over her life. When Ingrid is sent on an extreme wilderness program alongside a ragtag group of teens, she embarks on a transformative journey that challenges her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through the raw beauty of the Canadian wilderness, Ingrid confronts her past, uncovers hidden strength, and discovers hope in the face of grief, trauma, and familial complexity.

Blending lush cinematography, immersive sound design, and a deeply personal narrative, Everything Beautiful Is Not Ruined is equal parts heartbreak and humor, about resilience, mothers and daughters, self-discovery, and the healing power of connection, offering a cinematic experience that is both emotionally resonant and visually unforgettable.
