Awaiting Atwood

Directed by Beth Mairs

Two washed-up, middle-aged adventuresses are under the delusion literary icon Margaret Atwood has invited them to stay with her in downtown Toronto. Having nothing better to do for the summer, they turn this into a full-on adventure traveling by bike and canoe from Sudbury to Ms. Atwood's front lawn. En route, they experience a series of misadventures, encountering themes and images from some of Atwood's best-loved novels.
