Drive Back Home
Drive Back Home is a darkly funny road movie showcasing the distance that can grow between two brothers amidst the vastness of the Canadian countryside.
In 1970s Toronto, Perley (festival favourite Alan Cumming) is arrested for having sex with a man in a park. His estranged brother Weldon (Charlie Creed-Miles, The Fifth Element) is called on to bail him out. With only each other for company, the quirky Perley, his stoic brother and a taxidermied pug are trapped in a car together as they drive cross country back to small town Stanley. Inspired by a true story, this heartfelt film is about reckoning with the past and learning to forgive.
