Small town Newfoundland

Entertaining and refreshing tale about small town Newfoundland. Includes a wake. Interesting character development as the actors try to come to terms with their individuals needs and responsibilities as well as their love for each other. An eccentric old sea captain to old to continue his work is devastated by his love for the sea and is driven a bit insane over it - also has to summon new bravery to aid his grandson and daughter. The plot centers around his daughters desire to move to the big city. A common issue in small towns on the coast. The main character is the boy who the movie revolves around. Innocence, truth, and issues of life. He learns from his grandfather to face life and it's harsh realities - but in his own eclectic way.
