Far from the Sea (2008)

Haunted by his abandonment in childhood by his sailor father, Eric Elliott builds a boat to recapture his father's memory. A cowboy in his youth, sustained in his abandonment by a rare vision quest, a sailor, wounded in Vietnam, the building of the boat brings together the scattered pieces of Elliott's life, and in the end he launches the boat on the lake where his father taught him to sail, and finds treasure.
