If you're looking for high drama, this one ain't it. If you're looking for action or violence, ditto. If you want a little something to make you think about what's important in your life, hit play.
When Ben is told he doesn't have long to live, he re-evaluates his life and finds it lacking. His response is to hit the open road by himself. His fiancé calls him selfish which is understandable. But it's something he needs to do.
I understand. I was diagnosed with a blood cancer several years ago. Mine is responding well to treatment, but I still look at life and wonder how to better use the time I have.
The scenery of Canada is gorgeous. I recognized Toronto even though I've been there only once. I'm not sure something like this could have been made in America. We tend to want fast, loud, over the top. Even lots of our indie films are like that. The quiet and slow pace gives the you time to make you want to see Canada, time to reflect on what's going on with Ben, time to hope he finds what he needs to.
