Tarina kertoo nuoren tytön pään sisällä elävästä viidestä perustunteesta: Ilo, Suru, Kiukku, Pelko ja Inho. Muutto vanhasta kotikaupungista San Franciscoon käynnistää tunnemylläkän, jonka johdosta Ilo ja Suru tempautuvat pois ohjaamosta tunteiden varastotilaan. Pitkä paluumatka kohti tunnekeskusta alkaa, mutta aika käy vähiin, kun ohjaamo alkaa menettää otetta tytön tunnetiloista.

Hilpeä ja lämminhenkinen komedia viidestä pariskunnasta, jotka valmistautuvat vanhemmuuteen. Jännityksen ja yllätysten keskellä heille alkaa valjeta universaali totuus: vaikka mitä tekisi, elämä ei aina vastaa odotuksia.?

The Squid and the Whale -komediastaan tunnetun Noah Baumbachin uusin elokuva Frances Ha vie suoraan Girls-sarjan ja Woody Allenin tuntemaan hurmaavan hauskaan New Yorkiin. Elokuvan 27 vuotiaana nimihenkilönä, alati itseään etsivänä modernina tanssijana ja unelmoijana lumoaa Greta Gerwig. Frances Ha on parikymppinen tyhjäntoimittaja ja tyhjätasku, joka elää New Yorkissa parhaan ystävänsä Sophien (Stingin tytär Mickey Sumner) kanssa. Kun Sophie yllättäen haluaakin muuttaa poikaystävänsä kanssa yhteen, ei Frances tiedä mitä tehdä. Pitäisikö hänen itsenäistyä ja aikuistua, etenkin kun jopa nuoremmat alkavat tuntua häntä kypsemmiltä? Mukaansatempaava matka itsensä löytämiseen vie Francesin New Yorkin lisäksi Pariisiin. Frances Han muissa sivurooleissa nähdään muun muassa Girls-sarjassa Lena Dunhamin sydämen vienyt omaperäinen Adam Driver.

Joy Brown (Billie Dean) is a 40-something woman with little confidence, less self-esteem and a burning desire to realise her dream of being a singer/songwriter. But she cant sing. When Joy takes in a stray dog, Raffi, her life immediately changes. Her best friend, the tarot card reading Tessa (Janet Watson Kruse), moves in, Joy changes her name to Luna Starr, and she meets Peter Wolfman (Andrew Einspruch). When Peter encourages her to perform with him at the local pizzerias folk music nights, Joy sings sort of hiding behind masks of wigs and silliness. Despite the singing, Peter and Joys relationship blossoms. But there are lots of hiccups along the way -- ex-wives, ex-husbands, frightening performances, and bucket loads of doubt. Set to the backdrop of the folk music scene in an arty country town, the film celebrates universal themes of friendship, low self-esteem, love relationships, and the joy of dogs.

Made for the landmark anthology series, For the Record, Seer Was Here is an example of the bold dramatic programming made at the CBC in the mid-70s, while theatre director John Hirsch was serving as the head of the drama department. Saul Rubinek plays an inmate of a cruel Vancouver prison who brings humour, warmth, a little joy and self-understanding to the fellow prisoners of his cell block. An irreverent satire also featuring Eric Peterson and Martin Short. “Absolutely great, It’s also funny. Very Funny. Very Warm. Very touching… in some ways, a Canadian One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” (Calgary Herald, 1978)
