The Waltz
Marie Beath Badian’s beloved romantic comedy, tells the story of what happens when newcomers begin laying down roots and explores whether we ever truly feel at home in the world. Romeo Alvarez is travelling across the country from Ontario to British Columbia to attend university when he makes a pit stop in Saskatchewan to connect with some of his mom’s old friends. His journey leads him to a remote cabin where his unexpected arrival is greeted by a suspicious Beatrice Klassen. It is here, on these doorsteps of a rustic cabin in North East Saskatchewan that two Filipino Canadian teenagers, whose histories are serendipitously interweaved, spend one evening with a boombox under the magnificent Saskatchewan sky.
