In his efforts to help her and by turn make amends for their past estrangement from one another, he is compelled to re-imagine his mother’s stories for her before they slip completely into darkness. In delicate, h...

De zomer van 1991 is zinderend heet in Scarborough, een multiculturele wijk van Toronto. De broers Michael en Francis proberen zich tevergeefs te verweren tegen de vooroordelen en de lage verwachtingen waarmee ze zich als zonen van immigranten uit Trinidad geconfronteerd zien. Leraren delen hen in op lagere niveaus, de middenstand ziet ze slechts als potentiële winkeldieven en vreemden versnellen hun pas wanneer de jongens achter ze lopen.

Som a l'estiu de 1991, en plena onada de calor. El Park és un complex d'edificis baixos, cases adossades i blocs de pisos de formigó on hi viuen milers de persones que lluiten per trobar feina, cuidar-se els uns als altres i qui dia passa, any empeny. Com molts dels seus veïns, Michael i Francis són fills d'immigrants: el pare va desaparèixer i la mare va venir de Trinitat amb el somni de convertir-se en infermera i, en canvi, combina tres feines, viatja en autobusos durant hores i torna a...
