Trailer for Now, Forager.
Lucien and Regina are foragers - they gather wild mush"_rooms and sell them to New York restaurants. Their lifestyle is simple, their income unreliable. Craving more stability, Regina decides to quit the fall foraging season early to take a prep cook job at a hip, new octopus restaurant, where she blossoms working alongside a charismatic chef. Frustrated and feeling threatened by his wife's success, independence, and employer, Lucien at"_tempts to devote himself to full-time nomadic foraging, picking up an odd job here and there. By winter, Lucien is forced to take a temporary job on the night shift at a bakery, causing the couple to see each other only in pass"_ing, one climbing into bed as the other is leaving for work. As opportunities arise that move the couple further and further away from each other physically, their emotional dis"_tance also grows. When Regina takes a job in Rhode Island the rift seems insurmountable, until a chance meeting offers the hope of reconciliation or transformation. Beautifully photographed and chaptered by insightful scientific descriptions of fungi, Now, Forager is a thought"_ful, genuine look at the gradual metamorphosis of a relationship.
