Inspired by a true story in the family of writer-director Michael Clowater, this poignant yet often very funny film – an audience prizewinner at the Calgary film festival – takes place in a time and place when LGBTQ+ people had precious little opportunity to live their truth. To be more specific, that setting is small-town New Brunswick circa 1970, which is where a grouchy plumber named Weldon (Charlie Creed-Miles) receives a call from the Toronto police to come collect his long-estranged brother Perley (Alan Cumming) lest he face the full consequences of being caught having sex with another man in a public park. What ensues is an uncommonly good-natured kind of road movie as the brothers seek a new understanding of each other, and of the traumatic history they share. The slow-building rapport between Creed-Miles and the always great Cumming is just one of the reasons Clowater’s first feature is so endearing and moving.
