Project Detail

The Last Sign

Synopsis

Kathleen, 37, is a pretty woman struggling with her own hurt and rebellion, and trying to heal her wounds after the ultimely death of an alcoholic husband, Jeremy. Their years together were bitter sweet, tainted with violence, pain, and betrayed love. She feels that she will never be able to forgive. She harbours more hatred than affection for Jeremy.

As for love, Kathleen refuses to entertain the idea that the sun will ever shine for her again. Her devotion to her children amply suffices to fill her world of love. But strange, disturbing occurrences disrupt her safe haven. Telephone calls with no caller come every night just after midnight. Objects and photos oddly disappear. The figure 8 manifests itself repeatedly.

Kathleen pushes aside the anguish that these coincidences provoke and concentrates on her material existence.

Rhona, a shy teenager stuck on her family’s farm, has a secret: she’s head-over-heels infatuated with celebrity crush Céline. Between endless chores, an overbearing father who can’t stay out of her room, and the chaotic interruptions of barnyard animals, Rhona can barely find a moment of privacy to explore her budding desires. Unfortunately for Rhona, the farm’s chaos - goats, chickens, and her dad’s ill-timed interruptions - makes finding privacy nearly impossible. As her desire to explore her newfound feelings grows, so does her frustration with the farm’s constant meddling. In a series of hilariously awkward and tender moments, Rhona struggles to carve out a space for herself while her father fumbles with how to help her grow up. Life on the farm may be unpredictable, but Rhona is determined to make her moment happen - no matter how many chickens end up in her bed.
