Journey is the allegorical story of a young woman's struggle - outside the normal framework of space and time - to find herself.
Found drifting down the Saguenay River, half-drowned and clinging to a log, a woman (Geneviève Bujold) is rescued by Boulder (John Vernon), who carries her to Undersky, his commune in the Quebec wilderness.
Named after the river from which she was saved, Saguenay is haunted by memories of her past and remains unresponsive for days, drifting in and out of consciousness.
The cast also includes George Sperdakos, Elton Hayes, Luke Gibson, Greg Adams, Mary Bellows, Gale Garnett, Judith Gault, Beata Hartig, Meg Hogarth, Gary McKeehan, Patsy Rahn and Ratch Wallace.
Poorly received, it was a box-office failure and ended Almond's attempt to create art film in Québec.
