  • "Summary: The Kutkuwese Indians of Canada's northwest coast say that when you hear the owl call your name, death isn't far off. Unaware that he is incurably ill, Father Brian is sent to a small Indian community in the wilds of British Columbia. Though in many respects the traditional ways of the church are somewhat irrelevant to these proud and insular people, the young priest sees his work as a challenge. He hopes to change lives and to usher in a modern age. Instead it is he who learns from the Indians and after a year amongst them he has gained wisdom in the manner his bishop had before him. Through his relationship with his parishioners and his response to their environment, he learns to come to terms with life and, when told about his impending death, is able to accept this with equanimity. Shot on location in Canada, the film is based on the book by Margaret Craven and is directed by Daryl Duke from a screenplay by Gerald Di Pego. It features Tom Courtenay as Father Brian and Dean Jagger as his bishop."
