Synopsis

Storyteller and store clerk Beatrice is completely taken by a new woman who arrives in her Métis community looking to find her biological family. Beatrice decides to help Chani in order to spend more time with her. Meanwhile, a chorus of older women, collectively referred to as “The Grannies,” try to get Beatrice to mend things with her mom, Léonore. Léonore’s past drinking problem had soured their relationship and Beatrice is reluctant to repair it, no matter how many years her mom has been sober. Solomon is a striking discovery, conveying so much in this role of a disgruntled daughter who has mostly buried her feelings, while The Grannies usher in lighter, funnier moments.
