A Canadian classic!
A young actor from the big city stays with two farmers to gather stories about rural life for a play he is working on. The farmers' lives are irrevocably altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction cross.
Hilarious, surprising, and infinitely moving.
