Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In Manitoba, Hagar Shipley is nearing 90. She has little, she tells us, but her memories. Over several weeks, during which she runs away from her son and daughter-in-law who want to place her in a nursing home, returning to the small town where she grew up and the now-derelict farmhouse where she was married and raised two sons, we follow Hagar in the present and in memories that trace her childhood, marriage in defiance of her father, and later losses. She's fiercely even foolishly proud. Can she make peace with anyone she loves, or is she left to rage against the dying of the light?

| Goofs | The first incident with the freight train is set about 1950 yet it has no caboose. The caboose was not replaced by an electronic monitor on the last freight car until the eighties. It's also more than likely that in that era in western Canada a freight would have been hauled by steam rather than diesel. See more » |

Arlene:
I want to have a baby. John: We're broke. Arlene: We love each other. It'll be a love child. [they both laugh quietly. meanwhile, Hagar walks silently in and sees what's going on] John: Well, my mom leaves town in a couple weeks. Then we can get married, and we can talk about having a baby, okay? Arlene: I don't care about a wedding or anything. John: You can have whatever you want. [it becomes more intense; they are both breathing faster] Arlene: [breathlessly] I want lots of babies. [then they start having sex and Hagar leaves, having said nothing] See more » |
