The Arrangement

Betty sends her adult son Harold via horseback to her longtime friend's (Mabel) homestead to fetch her sewing kit. As Harold begins his journey, all is well until many mishaps start to impede his journey to Mabel's. After many treacherous days of traveling via horseback in the Navajo backcountry, Harold arrives at Mabel's homestead only to find out that the family only speaks Navajo. Harold who speaks very little Navajo, struggles to communicate with them and is immediately tasked by Mabel with cleaning the homestead, mending corrals, and many other strenuous chores on the property with Rita. Harold and Rita have no idea what their mothers have secretly planned. Harold's arrival at the homestead is far from just a coincidence.

Directed by Shonie De La Rosa, The Arrangement leans on a strong ensemble — Stevevost Boshi Jim, Jocelyn Billy Upshaw, Marilyn Help Hood — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
