A few days before Christmas, a young man, Giorgio, unprepared for winter, breaks into a cabin on a remote lake in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. He is discovered, confronted, and interrogated by David, a retired, widowed schoolteacher living alone in a nearby lodge. Giorgio has fled Vancouver in panic to avoid meeting his father, a successful trial lawyer with gang connections, after witnessing a shooting in an Asian restaurant. David will give Giorgio shelter at his own lodge over the Holidays. In return, he wants the full story. Truth is elusive though. Christmas at the lodge is a festive affair: David’s family, his dear neighbours with their three children, and now Giorgio as well as his divorced mother, whom David invited on short notice..   Click here  for more details.
