All Mine to Give

In the mid‑1850s, a rugged logging settlement clings to the edge of the great inland waters of Wisconsin. The town of Eureka is a place where pine‑scented air mixes with the clang of saws and the steady rhythm of riverboats, and every sunrise brings another chance to carve a future from the wilderness. Into this world arrive a young Scottish couple, hoping to turn the promise of the new land into something lasting.

Robert and Mamie quickly discover that the frontier demands both hard labor and the goodwill of neighbors. Robert throws himself into the demanding work of timber‑skidding before turning his hands to the craft of boat‑building, a trade that begins to anchor the family’s fortunes. Mamie, ever steady, lends her quiet courage to the household, nurturing a growing brood that fills the modest cabin with laughter, squabbles, and the ordinary miracles of daily life. The community, bound together by shared hardship, rallies around them, offering assistance that feels as essential as the tools in a workshop.

As the children grow, the eldest son—Robbie—stands on the cusp of adolescence, his curiosity and sense of duty already evident. When an unanticipated hardship strikes the family, it quietly reshapes the balance of responsibility within the home. The situation calls on Robbie to step beyond the bounds of boyhood, suggesting a journey of maturity that will test his resolve and the bonds that hold the family together.

The film moves with a steady, contemplative pace, its tone a blend of quiet perseverance and the subtle tension that runs through frontier life. It invites viewers to feel the weight of each sunrise, the comfort of communal support, and the inexorable pull of duty that can transform even the youngest member of a family into its quiet pillar.
