Full Plot Details

It is May 1988 in Toronto. The school year is coming to a close. The Victoria Day long weekend heralds the beginning of summer. In Boston, Wayne Gretzky's dynastic Edmonton Oilers are playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. Best of all, Bob Dylan is coming to town. Ben Spektor, 16, attends the concert with his two closest friends, Sammy and Noah. Though the year is 1988, they exist as if in a time warp, idolizing the music and culture of the 1960s. Outside the concert, Ben sees what looks like a routine exchange: two teenagers buying drugs. In a way he could never have predicted, the consequences of this drug deal will alter the course of his summer and, quite possibly, the rest of his life. This one event, barely significant at the time, initiates Ben into love, as well as death, and forces him to confront his conscience, his friends, and his family. Over the span of one week, seemingly disparate forces converge on him - the search for a missing boy, his romance with the boy's sister, the Stanley Cup finals, the fortunes of his own hockey team, and a peculiar Vietnam re-enactment with Victoria Day firecrackers. These events conspire to displace the certainty of childhood with the disorientation of adulthood.

Movie Reviews

Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunA tiny perfect gem about the no-man's-land of adolescence.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Kate TaylorIt is intensely well observed, but somewhat lacking in drama. It is lightly nostalgic about its moment in history. It's probably autobiographical. And it doesn't have much of an ending.
User Review - 8/10 by Chris VOne of the best canadian films i have seen. A very real life, normal depiction of teens in a movie.
User Review - 8/10 by Neha TA nuanced perspective of growing up as a 2nd gen Russian immigrant in North York in the 80s. There isn't really an ending to speak of but the scenes, characters, and humour are really well done.
User Review - 8/10 by Doug AOne of those movies where I end up a little envious of the main character -- a liar with lots of integrity.
User Review - 6/10 by Carmela MI saw this at the Calgary Film Festival. A very nice little Canadian movie. It really captures life in Southern Ontario suburbs in the 1980's. Lots of pressure on Ben as he juggles parents, girls, hockey playoffs and his future. You can sure pack a lot into a long weekend when you're in High School, eh? Not very satisfied with ending but the parallel with the 1988 NHL playoffs is a "Great One".
User Review - 6/10 by Calvina WI feel like everyone can relate to this movie. It's different because it leaves you feeling incomplete. Not in a bad way though, because life is incomplete most of the time.
User Review - 4/10 by Ryan LThis movie is okay, but in the end, there's nothing particularly memorable or outstanding about it. Some interesting characters in the movie and a story that movies along at a decent pace, but it seems a bit unfocused throughout and you can't ever really tell where it's going. Even by the end, nothing has really come together so ultimately it just seems like a bunch of random events happening with little connection between them all.
