CANADA'S GENIE AWARD FOR BEST ACTOR

Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) has been diagnosed with cancer. With a grim chance of survival in the best case scenario even if he immediately begins treatment, he instead decides to take a motorcycle trip from Toronto through the Canadian prairies to British Columbia. Along the way, he makes new friends, reevaluates his relationship with his fiancée Samantha (played by Liane Balaban), his job, and his dream of becoming a writer, and, after suffering some near-death experiences, learns to appreciate life.
Fitting squarely in the tradition of "road trip" movies, the film features classic Canadian scenery, roadside attractions and Canadian icons: even the Stanley Cup makes a cameo appearance.

When a sexy beautiful young woman sits next to a sweet elderly man on a train, the ride is anything but boring. Kumar Pallana (Royal Tanenbaums, Bottle Rocket) stars along with Shelby Fenner (Vantage Point, The Guardian) in this sweet comedy about first and last impressions.
