Maria clearly reveres Bing and the sacrifices he has made for their family \u2013 so when she discovers another woman\u2019s panties in his pocket, she's forced to confront the harsh reality that her world may not be what it seemed.<\/p>\n

As Maria wrestles with what to do about her discovery, she befriends a group of local eccentrics and a grumpy neighbour (Don McKellar). Maria\u2019s journey of self-discovery soon teaches her everyone\u2019s lives are more complicated than she has been led to believe.<\/p>\n

\u201cShum mines her favourite theme \u2013 immigrant experience in Canada \u2013 in what seems at first to be a gentle slice of life but eventually develops a powerful emotional force.\u201d \u2013 Susan G. Cole, NOW Magazine
