A Winter Tale
Frances-Anne Solomon 2007
Categories: Featured, Narrative Feature Film
Average Rating:
Rated 0.0/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 100 min. | Canada | Language: English
Shots ring out one winter night and a bullet meant for a local street dealer kills a ten-year-old boy.In the downtown Toronto community of Parkdale, grief and suspicion hang heavily in the air, while the nightly patrons at Miss G's Caribbean TakeAway resume their ritual of beer and banter.But one of them, Gene Wright, cannot go on. He begs his friends for help. In a most unusual development, six Black men make a pact to form a support group in hopes of salvaging their broken spirits and redeeming their besieged community.A Winter Tale is set against the backdrop of a multicultural community's unrealized hopes and dreams. Bitter and tragic, funny and hopeful, the film tells a uniquely Canadian story that features Toronto as a central character.
