What Whole New Thing Is About

Amnon Buchbinder's film is set in rural Nova Scotia. Emerson, thirteen, has been home-schooled by counter-cultural parents, and when he is finally sent to school he resembles neither his classmates nor the rules. The only person there who actually listens to him is Don, his English teacher, and Emerson begins to feel something for him. The film does not build this as a love story: there is a child of thirteen and there is an adult, and all of its tension sits in that difference. It is also a period in which the family itself is coming apart. Daniel MacIvor wrote the screenplay and plays the teacher. The ending is left unspoiled here.
