Storyline

A gritty and realistic portrayal of the Toronto in 1970, and the tale of two young men with "not a pot to p*** in", who come west from Nova Scotia in search of a better life, but who both end up just trying to survive.
Easily one of the top 10 movies within the past 20 years that I have had the pleasure of viewing.
