At the core of Redoubt is the story that unfolds in the film. It follows Diana (Anette Wachter, a long-range champion shooter), the Roman goddess of hunting and nature, and her companions (Eleanor Bauer, who is also the film’s choreographer, and Laura Stokes) on a wolf hunt through the snowy mountains of Idaho.Over the course of seven days and nights, as the trio track their prey and dance through the wilderness, they are followed by a state land manager (Matthew Barney), who documents their movements in engravings on copper plates. Each evening, he returns to a small trailer by a river, where his partner (K.J. Holmes) washes the plates in electric baths.
