When Mara (Deragh Campbell), a young creative writing professor in Toronto, reunites with Matt (Matt Johnson), a charismatic, free-spirited author from her past, a chance encounter threatens to spin her life in a thrilling new direction. Bonded by their history and shared interests, the two grow closer, while Mara contends with her strained marriage to an experimental musician. When her husband unexpectedly cancels plans to drive Mara to a conference out of town, Matt accompanies her instead and the pressure in their undefined relationship slowly builds.
"[Director Kazik Radwansk]’s drawn to characters who are hard to love but impossible to hate. In Campbell and Johnson he’s found two eager conspirators and brilliant actors." - Toronto Star
"If everything in the film feels so natural, so nakedly real, that is because everyone involved in it worked so determinedly to make that magic act happen. To bleed the manufactured into the organic." - Globe and Mail
"The film offers no easy answer for their situation. No happy resolution. There is just love in all its forms; messy and simple, spoken and unspoken, shared and hidden." - RogerEbert.com
