Enjoyable film. Kind of like "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" for the homeless. The ending leaves a bit to be desired, but overall a good film.

A realistic portrait of Winnipeg, that's for sure. Agonized and desperate, but operating on a strange patience... anyway, some deep acting and some enjoyable vintage shots of a city that's changed physically, yet has stayed the same socially.
Great movie showing homelessness and frostbite.
