Synopsis

Nominated for six Genie awards, director Bruce McDonald’s (Hard Core Logo) latest is a visually dazzling drama about a teenage girl searching for her missing little brother — and herself. When we meet Tracey Berkowitz (Oscar and Genie-nominee Ellen Page, Juno), she’s naked on a city bus, wrapped in a shower curtain. Her increasingly fragmented mind is vividly brought to life in possibly the most audacious use of split-screen imagery ever attempted. The result is not just technically innovative, but an emotionally complex, darkly comic evocation of the anxious teenage mind. The film was adapted by Genie-nominee Maureen Medved from her acclaimed novel.
