Synopsis
Climate change, global responsibility, SUV driving moms and a biblical flooding of the GTA. Annie (Rosemary Dunsmore), a suburban mother, recounts the events that led to her being stranded in her son’s old kayak. Reflecting on the past four years, she describes her turbulent relationship with Julie, her son Peter’s radical environmentalist girlfriend. As Peter and Julie grow closer, Julie’s black-and-white interpretation of environmental ethics clash more and more strongly with Annie’s middle-of-the-road politics. Annie fears that her son will be caught up in Julie’s increasingly dangerous attempts to make a difference in the world. Annie to is caught up in a global crisis, stranded alone on a vast stretch of water and is forced to confront the implications of her personal and political choices. We’re all in the same boat.
