Synopsis
Vancouver’s most cosmopolitan street – Commercial Drive – is the nexus for Carolyn Combs’ compassionate and heartfelt ensemble drama, a film about home, displacement, community, isolation, and solidarity. Unfolding over the course of just one day, the film hinges on Constanza (Carmen Aguirre), a Chilean refugee and activist whose relationship with her daughter is stress-tested by serious health concerns they would rather not have to confront. But this is just one thread amidst an Altmanesque carnival of characters from myriad walks of life: artists, hustlers, restauranteurs, and the coffee house consiglieri who converge on the Drive on a daily basis. Viva East Van!
