Live Bait

Directed by Bruce Sweeney

A 23-year-old slacker tries find his way amidst the oppressive suburban environment where he was raised in this Canadian comedy-drama. Amiable Trevor McIntosh faces two major problems. He wants to get away from his overbearing mom, philandering father and his older brother; and he wants to lose his virginity. Trevor tries hard at the latter, but can't seem to connect with the young women who interest him. Then he meets Charlotte Peacock, an artist in her '60s. She accepts Trevor and encourages him. They start out as friends, but gradually become much more.
